Jellyfish from the waters off of the South Korean town of Tongyeong are being found in the anchovy nets of the local fisherman. In a Joong Ang Daily article, the fisherman claim the jellies emit a toxin that kills small fish. But we know the real story here.

The jellyfish are giving their lives to protect the noble anchovies.

“The ocean water is full of jellyfish,” complained Huh O-ryong, 48, a fisherman residing in Pohang, North Gyeongsang. “Once you pull up a net, you find 20 tons of jellyfish stuck in there. It takes about two hours to remove them all.”
