Prachuap jellyfish invasion disrupts fishing industry

 

 

Fishermen in Muang district of Prachuap Khiri Khan reported that there were a huge number of jellyfish in the area.

 

So much so that fishing in the area was being disrupted. 

 

Thai Rath reported that some of the jellyfish were caught to sell to traders for preserving in salt.

 

But now the traders didn't want to accept any more. 

 

The inundation was blamed on the change in the weather in the area of Khan Kradai Bay in Ao Noi.

It's common along the coast of Prachuap Khirikhan at this time of year. The onshore winds also bring large volumes of trash onto the beaches from the Gulf courtesy of the three rivers feeding it downstream and into the Gulf.

Not enough turtles left to keep the jellyfish populations in check. Around the world, the jellyfish populations are exploding.
