Enjoy Science Compiled by Ruben E. Taningco Jellyfishes, which according to Prof. Rodrigo A. Camacho of the Biodeversity Center for Research and Conservation of Palawan State University in Puerto Princesa, is regarded as pests by the fishermen because it clogged their nets and fish corals, was observed that it have economic, medicinal, and ecological importance.
