Invasion of the giant jellyfish

The massive sea creatures, called Nomura's jellyfish, can grow 6 feet (1.83 meters) in diameter and weigh more than 450 pounds (204 kilos). Scientists think they originate in the Yellow Sea and in Chinese waters. For the third year since 2005, ocean currents are transporting them into the Sea of Japan.. .

The jellyfish destroy fishermen's nets, getting trapped in them, tearing holes and ruining catches.
