Gelatinous bastards
"Billions" of small jellyfish have destroyed the only fish farm in the UK. The whole thing sounds horrific:
Billions of small jellyfish, known as Mauve Stingers, flooded into the cages about a mile into the Irish Sea, off Glenarm Bay and Cushendun.
The jellyfish covered an area of up to 10 square miles and a depth of 35 feet. Rescuers tried to reach the cages but the density of fish made it impossible.
Managing director John Russell said he had never seen anything like this in 30 years in the business. "The sea was red with these jellyfish and there was nothing we could do about, it, absolutely nothing," he said.
(NB. to Alfred: I'll write about Tusk soon, I promise.)
