Pedzie Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Funny how they come up with a million jellyfish :-) No doubt a consequence of over fishing in the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnikaIII Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Funny how they come up with a million jellyfish :-) No doubt a consequence of over fishing in the area No doubt a consequence of ... "No doubt" ? What the hell do you know about it. It's not the first time jelly fish have appeared in the seas of Thailand and it won't be the last. In the North of Australia we have the stinger season, which has nothing to do with over fishing. It's just part of the marine ecology. The source of these jelly fish in Sattahip bay, if ever known will be established by scientific research, conducted by marine biologists, not a slob with a beer can in one hand and computer mouse in the other. If you are so sure it's to do with fishing, then I trust you don't eat fish. Otherwise we can say it's your fault. The mention of a million, is not meant as a specific number, but is used as a figure of speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gers1873 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 tuna, swordfish, moonfish, triggerfish and certain kinds of sea turtles - especially the leatherback turtle-which are all major jellyfish predators. As are the Chinese Perhaps the idea of overfishing tuna etc is not too far off the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Jelly fish Blooms as they are called are a result of ocean currents pushing swarms of Jelly fish together.i have some interest in the subject because Jelly fish are quite good at shutting down power plant that are seawater cooled as happened to at least one plant in Maptaphut a few years back and recently happened to Nuclear power plant in Japan, Scotland and Israel. The geographic separation at least proving that they were likrely caused by different Blooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckarooBanzai Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 While most officials involved with the tourist trade would probably say "come on down, the waters fine" the Deputy superintendent of Sattahip municipality deserves a lot of credit for doing the right thing. Therefore I will not be making any "Jellyfish Hub of Southeast Asia" jokes in this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
