Did you know that Jellyfish all but evaporate in the sun. They?re 98% water.

Jellyfish fact: The worlds largest known jellyfish can reach a diameter of 2.5 m / 8ft and its tentacles can grow to be half the length of a football field.

I hate the fuckers! When i was in Malta, all you could see in the water was jellyfish everywhere.

Actually watched a programme on tv about them not that long ago, and it was basically about how their numbers are multiplying at an incredible rate, and taking over many parts of oceans and seas that you never used to find them before...

Sometimes when I'm scuba diving, I just happen to notice that I'm often surround by dozens of tiny jellyfish that are so transparent that you can barely see them. I've even tried to take photos of them but it just looks like water in the pics.

Contrary to popular legend and despite a twisted personal fetish, urinating on jellyfish stings just makes it worse.

Vinegar is the way to go....

They have bottles of it in emergency kits on Australian beaches.

Anyway, I think this a bot fishing thread. I am not a bot!

We need more great business threads like this, will start incorporating random ocean facts on my adult sites.

I didn't think they evaporate, more so melt.. maybe liquify & become a pool of water.

A load of beached jelly fish in Wales were turning into water on the sand. As they had been there for a while, already dead. I put one in a plastic bag, to dissect back home. Within an hour, a pool of water lay in the bag, no jellie

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.

did the program mention that the reason for the increase in their numbers is related to global climate change?

Other interesting jellyfish facts;

The mouth of a jellyfish is also the anus.

An adult jellyfish is a medusa, named after the mythological creature with snakes for hair who could turn humans to stone with a glance.
