possibly make a mess of small fish, etc also. Don't think this has been fully thought out.

That's the concern some expressed in the comments on that page, but when you think about it, that scenario's highly unlikely;
- Fish will instinctively swim away from something big which moves and makes noise, and
- Fish will instinctively swim away from a current (in this case being created by the propeller).
What I'm wondering is if they can develop this technology further, to target politicians. Let a few of these loose in Can'tberra and we can broadcast the developments as "reality TV" for entertainment :-)

The 'strings' that guide the jellyfish in allow the fish and most by-catch to escape to escape. Plus as was pointed out almost everything swims faster than this thing
Are jellyfish prey by anything that can get past its sting ?
Certainly. They are prey of some turtles, fish, birds, and other jellyfish.
OTOH, we *do* need a better politician predator.
I think Japanese eat jellyfish (as well as whales).
Jellyfish is pretty common in Asian cooking. AFAIR, I've only eaten it prepared as a salad. I don't think it has much nutritional content (or flavor), but it does have a nice crunchy texture.
