NAMOURA JELLYFISH

I thought that is high time that we mention the “Nomura's Jellyfish (Nemopilema nomurai)”.  I was viewing “National Geographic’s (Wild)” the evening; Friday, 10/26/12 at 4:00pm-5:00pm EST., and they were discussing this enormous jellyfish like “Lion’s Mane Jellyfish”.  It was so astonishing that I looked further, and Google lead me to a blog called:  “Life of Sea” Information about life, description, habitat, behaviour of sea creature.  

As I watched further, they stated that these Jellyfish are giants, and are invading the sea of Japan.  Fishermen are becoming masters at catching and killing them, and then discard them back into the sea/ocean. However, when the Namoura is under attack by the fishermen, they release billions of eggs back into the sea/ocean to ensure that their species continues. When released, the eggs adhere themselves to the ocean floor and instantly began to ensure the birth of a newly placed swarm of their species.

It is also said that they are taking over every major coastal oceanic area. It’s high time that we pay attention to this prehistoric, vastly, newly immerging massively dangerous jelly fish that threatens mankind’s food source, and physical health.

For many years scientist have studied what prompts jellyfish to bloom. In every ocean, they stated, that there are thousands of species of this massive jellyfish. Also as I continued to watch, National Geographic, they stated that this jellyfish is blooming out of control because of us. Due to polluted waters, there are highly concentrations of the pollutants that they need to multiply, as they do. This is happening in the “Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, as well as the Chesapeake Bay, etc.

On National Geographic, (Wild) they stated that climate change might be ever expanding the production of these jellyfish, besides the pollutants that man emits into the ocean(s). The commentator said that we need to co-exist with these giant, massive creatures that are quickly engulfing our oceans, and threatening the lives of coastal swimmers, divers and the fish that our fishermen catch for our consumption.

If you already know about this, then why not share more with those of us who know nothing about this fish, or who know too little. They said that they are taking over the world, and poisoning all of our eatable fish. Hopefully, we can get the “Bio Hazardous” dumpers, as well as the “Pharmaceutical Company’s” and oil drillers to look back and pay attention to the long term effects of that they are doing to us. Unless, of course, they have another place to live that we don’t know about…..than I guess they just won’t stop, huh?

Here are a few links that I thought might help you get started in becoming aware of the new takeover of our world as we know it.  Respect!
