In the meantime coastal communities in Japan are doing their best to promote jellyfish as a novelty food, sold dried and salted, and some even turned into cookies.

These photos are spectacular!
I don't know about jellyfish, but squid are delicious!
Shedd Aquarium in Chicago has a nice jellyfish tank, it's lit with coloured lights and UV (blacklight) so they look quite spectacular.
Incredibly beautiful.It looks like museum jewelry.
Wow, thank you for the incredible display of jellyfish photos. I think they're gorgeous creatures...
Japanese are losing fish harvests due to Nomuras. They kill the nomuras caught in their nets, but nomuras will drop their eggs and sperm upon dying, therefore "seeding" the next generation. This makes the likelihood of catching more jellyfish instead of food fish. Japanese rely too heavily on the sea and are creating more of a mess with their policies.
