Wow ... that's A LOT of jellyfish ... 10 square miles and 35 feet deep?!?
Quoted: Sky News - More than 100,000 salmon worth over £1m have been killed in a freak jellyfish attack.
It has wiped out Northern Ireland's only salmon farm and owners are now facing ruin.
The massive invasion happened at Glenarm Bay and Red Bay, Cushendun, off the Co Antrim coast.
Billions of small jellyfish called Mauve Stingers were involved - they stung and then stressed the salmon which were being kept in cages about a mile out into the Irish Sea.

I think this article should be used by kids whose parents are trying to force fish on them as a "quiet pet". In all my time cleaning fish tanks, though, I never heard them make a peep.
Quoted: Increasingly scientists are discovering unusual mechanisms by which fish make and hear secret whispers, grunts and thumps to attract mates and ward off the enemy.
