I vaguely remember a story a few years ago about a gigantic jellyfish swarm killing off thousands of fish at a fish farm.

Edit: Hm, happened in Northern Ireland. I thought maybe Japan. Ten square miles of jellyfish, 35 feet deep.

The first attack was like a Biblical plague: Billions of purplish pelagia noctiluca, or mauve stingers, drifted over cages of salmon in Glenarm Bay and stung to death about 120,000 fish.
