Hauling in the nets is hard work, and so far theres not a fish in sight. Only jellyfish. Each year, millions of jellyfish are carried south with the currents in the Bohai Gulf. The ecological story behind this event is complex, but by no means unique to China. Jellyfish are fast-breeding plankton feeders. In recent years, human sewage and fertilizers from intensive farming, have increased plankton blooms in the Gulf, providing extra jellyfish food. While over-fishing has reduced their enemies and competitors. Its a phenomenon that has become increasingly widespread, across the worlds seas. However, what is seen elsewhere as a problem, in China is perceived as an opportunity. Back on shore, mule carts transport the jellyfish to nearby warehouses, where they will be processed and sold as food all over China. Four generations tuck into a bowl of sliced jellyfish, the recipe for a long and healthy life. The end!
