weird Monster Jellyfish Take Aim at Japan

If you’re a Japanese fisherman, the answer is weird monster jellyfish named Nomura’s jellyfish ( Nemopilema nomurai ), or, as the Japanese call it, echizen kurage . The gigantic creature can wreak havoc on fishing nets and their contents, destroying the nets and poisoning the catch.
