This topic is very interesting. i will try to discover it for myself by conducting an experiment here in the Philippines. whatever the results may be, i will keep you informed. I will try doing antimicrobial tests for the extracts I will obtain from the jellyfish. I hope I can do it asap. Thanks.

I guess its what they say “a double edged sword” being (what looks like on the horizon)a very breaking health discovery and then the havoc they bring on the local community. Unreal! They are magnificent, none the least. I am book marking this site, it is gorgeous and most different thing ive seen all day.

After looking at the studies done of build up of toxins, – Are the jellies maintaining this form to go AFTER something now missing? Or running AWAY from something poisonous affecting their ability to oxygenate in the particular manner that they do? Is the habitat below built up in dioxides toxic to them – compelling them to maintain this form of their cycle? Or are fish really so depeleted as to open a niche for greater nutrients in the hydrostrata above their bottom dwelling pod forms? Thus making them rise and procreate in an ever more populous – fishless area without danger to their young? Just seems to be too many in either case. This is World wide. Perhaps both instances are now prevelant? Something must be done about “By-Catch” which is utter WASTE regardless. Wasted protein chucked back in dead when if combined and shipped to Africa is a greater protein source than bushmeat or leavings on the bones of sea bass, etc.. Freeze it – ship it – would/can be a more steady and healthier channel of protein then what’s known to be offered every so often at money gouging, bacterial ridden “markets”.

Come on, Mr. “studying ichthyology.” Jellyfish populations are on a dramatic upswing. Already they are clogging bays and power plants all around the world. If we don’t do something, they could eliminate fish all together. There goes about 1 Million OTHER species. All we want to do is get the balance back in shape.

Oh well, yet another incredible species finds itself at the wrong end of commercial human interest!
