* {{Foil}} [=SpongeBob=] and Mr. Krabs in their treatment of captured jellyfish.
** [=SpongeBob=] catches one jellyfish at a time in the wild where he only harvests as much jelly as he personally needs and immediately lets them go when he's done. Mr. Krabs has the entire jellyfish population captured and put in a factory where he harvests them for as much jelly as they can produce and keeps them cramped together in a single machine.
** [=SpongeBob=] harvests jelly by gently holding the jellyfish in place, tickling them with a feather, and making them sneeze the jelly into a single jar. Mr. Krabs harvests the jelly using several cruel methods; milking the jellyfish like a cow into a jar until they're completely drained and/or possibly dead, squeezing the jelly out with a rolling pin, juicing them like a lemon, and the sneezing method without the feather and into a pipeline, implying that a single jellyfish is made to sneeze multiple times at once.
** When [=SpongeBob=] harvests jelly, he handles the jellyfish with his own two hands, and considering how weak he's established to be and how the jellyfish calmly tolerate his touch until it's released, it's guaranteed that [=SpongeBob=]'s grip isn't hurting the jellyfish even if he wanted to and even if the jellyfish is annoyed enough to sting him afterword. When Mr. Krabs harvests jelly, he uses a machine that holds the jellyfish in a cast iron grip with its robot arms as the poor thing flails around trying to escape, showing how much the arms are hurting them.



* GreenAesop: The food industry should not be cruel to animals. Wild animals are meant to be free.

* GreenAesop: The food industry should not be cruel to animals. Wild If you choose to keep an animal in a captivity to harvest something from them, the least you can do is make sure their needs are met so that they're as comfortable as possible. If you're unable or unwilling to properly care for them, then wild animals are meant best left to be free.


Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat: Towards any factories in the food industry that mistreats the animals they harvest from. The episode makes the point that there's nothing inherently wrong with harvesting something from an animal, but doing so in a way that hurts them or the environment is downright deplorable.
* TruthInTelevision: [=SpongeBob=] describes jellyfish as being "oh so sensitive". Indeed, in real life, jellyfish are extremely fragile, so much so that in captivity, they need to be kept in a gentle current away from anything they could get caught in or else [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath they'll be torn apart.]] Needless to say, they can't be handled by hand as roughly as Mr. Krab's machine does either.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When SpongeBob asks Mr. Krabs how many jellyfish he needs, he says they have a "whole ecosystem" full of hungry paying customers. He continues to demand more and more jellyfish until they've all been captured and Jellyfish Fields' own ''actual'' ecosystem has been destroyed.

* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: While Plankton is announcing the entrance of his champion for the Fry Cook Games, as the stadium shakes with the stomping, a couple of adult fish cover the eyes of a kid fish (presumably their son) in the middle of them. The kid replies in kind by covering ''their'' eyes.
