DUBLIN, Ireland- The only salmon farm in Northern Ireland has lost its entire population of more than 100,000 fish, worth some $2-million, to a spectacular jellyfish attack, its owners said Wednesday.Rotten day to be a salmon farmer. I wonder if insurance policies on salmon farms cover things like jellyfish attacks?The Northern Salmon Co. Ltd. said billions of jellyfish - in a dense pack of about 10 square miles and 35 feet deep - overwhelmed the fish last week in two net pens about a mile off the coast of the Glens of Antrim, north of Belfast.
I'm pretty sure there's a global warming tie-in waiting to be made ...
