Hey Jellyfishie, Part VII

A Japanese fishing boat was sunk when it caught a bunch of giant jellyfish- too many of them.  The net was loaded with Nomura's jellyfish, each of which can weigh 200 kilograms.  When the crew tried to pick up their catch, the boat capsized.  The 3 crewmen were rescued, but the catch got away.

Remember: Greed may possibly be good, but jellyfish are certainly heavy.
