I thought the Chesapeake was bad. :lol:


The trawler, the Diasan Shinsho-maru, capsized off Chiba`as its three-man crew was trying to haul in a net containing dozens of huge Nomura's jellyfish.

Each of the jellyfish can weigh up to 200 kg and waters around Japan have been inundated with the creatures this year. Experts believe weather and water conditions in the breeding grounds, off the coast of China, have been ideal for the jellyfish in recent months.

Jellyfish can be heavy , ask any crabber who has hauled up a pot loaded with them. Still someone should have been watchingn and warned the winch guy.

Jellyfish can be heavy200 Kg = 441 lbs. When you consider they are almost all water, and up to 2 m across... I'd say they have potential to do damage.
