BLOB FISH

Habitat

You would never guess where a Blobfish lives. Blobfish are usually found in deepish waters of Australia! These little blobs are hard to find in these waters. They are in the open ocean. There is quite a little amount of food for the Blobfish to survive. Blobfish are 90% water! For the cause of their laziness and stillness, Blobfish are usually caught in nets by fishermen.

Food

The blobfish feeds on crustaceans including crabs and lobsters. The fish derives its name because its gelatinous body, ideal for deep-sea pressure, becomes a blob at normal atmospheric pressures.

Species

Imagine if humans existed at the bottom of the sea, where the pressure is immense. We would probably resemble a squashed version of ourselves, with nonexistent necks and knuckles dragging on the sea floor. Or maybe we would just look like the blobfish. At depths of over 9,000 feet below, the blobfish floats around, casually eating whatever passes its way. Sources report that this laid-back fish is under threat from overfishing.
