The foremost Japanese scientist best theory is that the Jelly fish species experiences incredible growth and population booms in nutrient rich waters.
Within the Pacific ocean, near the coast lines, the jelly fish swarms grow to insane sizes and populations because of effluent (run off from farms using too much fertilizer) goes into Chinese rivers and out the bay into the ocean.
There are no real predators to giant jellyfish. The only way to combat this problem is to reduce nitrogen/fertilizer use in the farms or contain them before contact with the ocean.
