A Japanese trawler capsized when its 3-man crew apparently tried to
haul up a net that was too heavy — loaded with giant Nomura's jellyfish.

"Each of the jellyfish can weigh up to 200 kg [440 pounds] and waters

according to <A href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/6483758/Japanese-fishing-trawler-sunk-by-giant-jellyfish.html" linkindex="24">The Telegraph</A>. The men were tossed overboard in calm seas and rescued by another boat.

"Jellies have likely swum and swarmed in our seas for over 600 million years," <A href="http://www.livescience.com/animals/081219-bts-jellyfish.html" linkindex="25">says "jellyologist" Monty Graham</A>
of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama. "When conditions are right,
jelly swarms can form quickly. They appear to do this for sexual
reproduction."

Nomura's jellyfish can grow to <A href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/07/19/japan.jellyfish/index.html" linkindex="26">6 feet in diameter</A> and travel in packs.
