Jellyfish
Nomura's Jellyfish (echizen kurage?, Nemopilema nomurai) (for some time
in the genus Stomolophus) is a very large jellyfish, in the same size
class as the lion's mane jellyfish, the largest cnidarian in the world.
The diameter of one fully-grown is slightly greater than the height of
an average fully grown man. The species was named in tribute to Mr.
Kan'ichi Nomura (C18–C19), Director General of the Fukui Prefectural
Fisheries Experimental Station, who in early December 1921 sent a
specimen in a 72-litre wooden tank to Kishinouye, who found that it was
unknown and spent some time at the station to study living specimens.
