Vast numbers of Echizen kurage, or Nomura's jellyfish, have appeared around Japan's coast since July, clogging and ripping fishing nets and forcing fishermen to spend hours hacking them apart before bringing home their reduced catches.

Representatives of fishing communities around the country gathered in Tokyo on Thursday, hoping to thrash out solutions to a pest that has spread from the Japan Sea to the Pacific coast.

"It's a terrible problem. They're like aliens," Noriyuki Kani of the fisheries federation in Toyama, northwest of Tokyo, told Reuters ahead of the conference.

Jellyfish recipes . . . anyone?

"Seaside communities in Japan have tried to capitalize on the menace by developing novel jellyfish dishes from tofu to icecream, but for some reason the recipes have failed to take off." -http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060119/sc_nm/environment_japan_jellyfish_dc

Well maybe they can get the japanese whalers in the southern ocean slaughtering whales in the name of 'science' to come and take care of it. *rolls eyes*

Methinks the hang-up comes from their failure to find the dreaded peanut butter fish.
