Amid growing concern about how to dispose of a booming population of
jellyfish - including 6-foot-long monsters weighing more than 400
pounds - scientists in Japan are reporting development of a process
for extracting a commercially-valuable biomaterial from the marine
animals. Their report is scheduled for the July 27 issue of ACS
Journal of Natural Products, a monthly publication. Read more at my
Blog Marine animal news(http://marineanimalnews.blogspot.com) and see
the vivid creaturers at my blog Videos of blue waters(http://blue-
