McGrouther thinks the honor is undeserved. “That was a sacrilege, really unfair,” he says. “I used to have an ugly dog named Florence, a mongrelly-looking thing. She was blind and had lost most of her hair and her mind, though never her appetite. Mr. Blobby is far more attractive than Florence.” We have so few sightings of them that it would be hard to assess them. They represent the vulnerability of a lot of deep water fish, they are likely long-lived, slow growing and mature very late. Blobfish Fact-File Summary Scientific Classification Kingdom:

But as with any denizen of the deep, we have far more questions than answers about the blobfish. Ichthyology Research Assistant Dr Kerryn Parkinson snapped the notorious portrait of the blobfish in 2003. (Image credit: Dean Sewell) The poster-child of deep sea mystery Contrary to popular opinion, this fish isn’t really as ugly as commonly portrayed. Gage Beasley’s In-Demand Plush Toys Spesies blobfish dapat ditemukan di kantung-katung terdalam laut di kedalaman antara 600 sampai 1.200 meter. This predation can prevent certain prey populations from becoming overly abundant and potentially destabilizing the ecosystem.

Dr. Thom Linley from the Newcastle University research team spoke to Fact Animal on the myth of the ‘ugly blobfish’ 4– One day while surveying the Tangaroa’s recently departed, expedition photographer and marine ecologist Kerryn Parkinson came upon what Mark McGrouther describes as a “very soft, very goopy fish, about the length of a comic book. While the ship swayed, the jiggly mass slid to and fro, even in death.” Drooping from its lower lip—like the unlit cigarette that forever dangled from Humphrey Bogart’s—was a parasitic copepod. A blob within a blob. Experts think they can live for up to 130 years, based on a comparison with the life cycle of other deep-sea species. Ecological Role and Interactions Studying a blobfish is no easy thing | Image via Ocean Conservancy The Blobfish is a meme that was popularized on the internet in 2013. It is a photograph of a fish that has been photoshopped to look like a balloon. Is a blob fish in danger? The blobfish is a slow-moving fish that moves around by simply bobbing along in the water or on the sea bed.

Blobfish belong to the fathead sculpin family, the piscine equivalent of the Addams Family. (Creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky.) This “altogether ooky” animal is found in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans at depths between 330 and 9,200 feet. Unlike most fish, they have no swim bladder to help maintain buoyancy. “If Mr. Blobby had an air sac, he would collapse under the extreme pressure,” McGrouther says. “Instead, he uses water as a structural support.” The blobfish’s blancmange of a body is less dense than water, allowing it to drift passively above the seabed. Having realized long ago that activity does them no good, they tend to remain almost, if not entirely, still. Apart from the blobfish, the family Psychrolutidae includes several other deep-sea fish species, such as toadfishes, tadpole sculpins, and flathead sculpins. Kerryn hopes that Mr Blobby could serve as a key specimen for deep sea ichthyology researchers in the future, alongside the 500,000 other specimens preserved by the museum’s fish collection, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. These studies will help us understand them and reconstruct the intricate food web, ecological relationships, and nutrient cycling in the deep ocean. Conclusion from your device or from a url.

But how does the blobfish keep itself alive in a dark, dangerous habitat where food is scarce? These animals are lie-in-wait predators, meaning they sit at the bottom of the ocean and eat anything that passes by, such as crustaceans, brittle stars, anemone, and carrion. This allows them to preserve energy, which is key to their survival. Reproduction This unique body structure makes it possible to achieve a neutral buoyancy in the deep-sea environment instead of relying on swim bladders or air sacs, which tend to be unstable in high-pressure environments. The deep-sea habitat where the blobfish lives is characterized by the absence of light rays, frigid temperatures (often just above freezing), and tremendous pressure.
