The price would vary according to its quality.
There is a rough data of imported salted jellyfish.
Salted jellyfish is not the last form of jellyfish which consumers buy.
We usually buy dried jellyfish packed by 100-200g or cooked dishes.
The unit of the amount of salted jellyfish is ton and that of money
is 1,000,000 yen.
You can calculate rough price of salted jellyfish.
You can see that chinese jellyfish is expensive.
I think it is because their quality is good or the species is good
for cook.
