There are billions of tons of jellyfish in your planet's oceans. They are 95% water, 4.5% protein, and a few minerals.
So far, this resource has not been exploited.
BorgCo is designing a purpose-built jellyfish harvesting vessel.
The vessel uses a pipe to suck up huge volumes of seawater, based
on subsurface sensors, and deposits it in a large tank. A separation process returns all non-jellyfish sea life to its starting point via another pipe.
The jellyfish are then diced, completely dried using solar energy, then powdered. The resultant powder, having been treated to neutralize any toxins, is used as a food supplement for pigs, resulting in increased production of bacon.

You're just making free aquatic rides for dolphins. And whales. And swimmers. |
|
| |
I wonder how turbulent water needs to be before a jellyfish is simply shredded into blobs. |
|

Pigs fed on jellyfish..... I'm certain some equivalent of mad
cow disease will follow, but of no risk to me as I do not eat
any meat products. I leave this sort of muck consumption
to the smelly hordes that make up the intellectually
diminished lesser beings we superiors peer down on with
pity in our hearts. |
|
| |
// smelly hordes// If you had ever spent any
significant amount of time in a confined space with a
vegetarian, you would reconsider that statement. |
|
| |
This could be background color in a near future scifi: because of x and y the oceans have switched and are dominated almost completely by jellyfish. Life gives you lemons, make lemonade. |
|
| |
// food supplement for pigs// |
|
| |
Some marine organisms collect the nematocysts
(stinging cells) from jellyfish and use them for their
own defence. If this were to be repeated, we might
end up with killer stinging pigs. |
|
| |
Pigs equipped with stinging octopus style tentacles would
make useful guards for places like prisons, or American
schools. |
|
| |
Swimmers are not actually natural sea life, so would be minced, dried and added to the product. |

|

... or if nothing else, a movie script to pitch to potential backers. |

|

Yes, we had a shade of green in mind ... Soylent Green ... |

|
| |
Life gives you lemons, squirt lemon juice in people's eyes and run away laughing. |
|

|
| |
"Four legs good, eight tentacles better" ... ? |
|
| |
"Oh my god...Soylent green is... broccolli!" |
|
| |
Okay, so I'm a sort of vegetarian. I don't eat anything that has
a face. Do jellyfish have faces? |
|
| |
//Do jellyfish have faces?// No, they don't even
have faeces - they only have one orifice. |
|
| |
You may also be pleased to know that, anatomically,
the heads of birds and fish are derived from the
embryonic cells that, in mammals, create the anus*.
Therefore, chickens and tuna don't have faces and
you're free to feast upon them. |
|
| |
(*Placeholder for Trump joke.) |
|
| |
Technically everything has a face, if it is simply defined as
its outer surface area... |
|
| |
Ok, will define "face" for those who would have this become
far more complicated than need be. A face: two eyes, a
nose, a mouth. A face. Duh done. |
|
| |
Well that's just bring speciesist! |
|
| |
Won't anyone think of the poor Cylopsians? |
