Sweetman has spent a lot of time throwing dead jellyfish into the sea. At the
bottom of the Sognefjord, Norway’s largest fjord, a time-lapse camera
recorded their fate. He’s trying to answer a simple question: does

neatly sums up how little we really know about those alien creatures. Jellyfish
carrion carpets the seabed, suggesting it is not a favourite food.”Why
would you eat a jellyfish?” asks Sweetman, who now works at Heriot Watt
University in Edinburgh, UK. “A jellyfish is 96 per cent water. You might
as well just swim with your mouth open.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

jellyfish blooms – started making the news. In their millions, jellyfish
are capable of spectacular acts of sabotage. Yet nobody knows where these
blooms come from or how to get rid of them. Time to ask more questions beyond
whether anything eats them. Are numbers really going up? If so, why? More
importantly, what can we do about it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Philippines in 1999, locals thought a long-feared military coup was under

services from power stations to data centres and water treatment plants. In
2006, a jellyfish bloom temporarily disabled the Ronald Reagan, one of the US
navy’s flagship nuclear-powered supercarriers. Gelatinous bodies had ...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
