'Heavy shock' with giant jellyfish on the seabed

Divers are often shocked when they first encounter a giant jellyfish, like aliens that are many times larger than them, off Japan.

The aforementioned giant marine species is called Nomura jelly , Nemopilema nomurai science name. Nomura jellyfish is classified in a class with lion mane jellyfish - the largest sea jellyfish in the world.

An adult Nomura jellyfish can grow to a body diameter of 2 meters and weighs up to 200kg. In general, this creature possesses a massive body, 100 times the size of a normal jellyfish. They were found to grow most commonly in the waters between China and Japan.

In the early years of the 20th century, after about 40 years they often flooded Japanese waters once. But in the last few years they appear with more dense frequencies. Scientists are still unclear why Nomura jelly only spilled into Japanese waters without invading other waters.

Although Nomura's magnets are often very painful, they generally do not cause any serious damage to humans.

However, in 2009, a 10-ton Diasan Shinsho-maru fishing boat capsized off Chiba City on Honshu Island, Japan, when three fishermen on it tried to catch a net of dozens of giant Nomura jellyfish. . Three fishermen were later rescued by another fishing vessel.
