BELFAST (AFP) - Northern Ireland's only salmon farm was completely wiped out by a freak jellyfish attack, the owners said Wednesday.

More than 100,000 fish worth more than one million pounds (2.1 million dollars, 1.4 million euros) were killed in the invasion at Glenarm Bay and Red Bay, on the County Antrim north-east coast.

We are still assessing the full extent, but it's a disaster," said John Russell, managing director of Northern Salmon Co. Ltd.

"In 30 years, I've never seen anything like it. It was unprecedented, absolutely amazing. The sea was red with these jellyfish and there was nothing we could do about it, absolutely nothing.

"I have never experienced such concentrations of jellyfish spread over such a wide area. The vastness was unbelievable."

Taking all of my experience with aliens into account I would say that this most likely was a pre-meditated plan of attack on their part. Salmon are reknowned for their anti-alien sentiments and striking a critical blow to such a major salmon breeding centre was clearly a tactical move on the alien's part.
What does bother me though is that the attack occurred in Northern Ireland. Typically, the more radical anti-alien salmon occur in the Republic of Ireland (to the south).
Hmmm, very puzzling.

A salmon farm is really a giant baited trap if you think about it, so the jellyfish were only going that far north because there was a vast amount of food that far north.

Yup. What actually everyone else stated. even if the forged information is obtainable, basically no longer written about a lot. for my section i locate a movie about the wonders of nature cheers me up. or only a stroll contained in the mild. For the international is completed of loopy element and loopy human beings. And even as it truly isn't any longer truly solid to brush aside such issues completely, neither is it healthful to live on all of them the time. i imagine existence is about stability. about appreciating the forged issues in our existence, even as comprehend-how others gained't be as fortunate. helping others in some small way, even as no longer ignoring the desires of our households, acquaintances and maximum significantly ourselves. existence IMO, is what we make it. If we worry to step out of our the front doorways, anticipate actually everyone appears plotting antagonistic to us, nicely, existence will be hell. If we see that the international we stay in is usually significantly better compared to even one hundred years in the past, well known the flaws in our lives that we get exhilaration from and promises us exhilaration, existence will be heavenly. .

It would take a lot of "p" to overcome an attack like that.! I know it works if you get stung by one (I live in Fl.). That sounds like a real nightmare.
