Scientific Name: Chlamydoselachus anguineus The Blobfish is frequently accidentally caught during trawling because it dwells close to the ocean floor. Imagine dropping a water balloon into a crowd-filled swimming pool it would drift across the surface, the blobfish experiences pretty much the same thing.Īlthough there are no natural predators for it, people pose a serious threat to its declining numbers. Its jelly-like consistency is mainly what makes it one of the 10 most ugly fish in our oceans. Its body composition provides the proper buoyancy to glide effortlessly across the ocean floor. The fact that the Blobfish is a gelatinous blob also contributes to its couch potato mindset. The Blobfish has a pretty different appearance near the sea’s bottom, where it seems much more compacted and fish-like (but still quite odd-looking, even for a fish). It contains very few hard bones, and the majority of its body mass is gelatinous.īeing formed of a gelatinous, blobby substance allows the Blobfish to prevent itself from being crushed by water pressure, which is advantageous in the crushing depths where it lives. Though being a blob can seem like a drawback, it benefits the Blobfish’s way of existence. However, they live in depths as deep as 4000 feet. This deep-sea animal always inhabits depths greater than 1600 feet in an environment of exceptionally high pressure. According to a public poll conducted by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, this drooping, slimy fish with a gelatinous appearance is one of the ugliest fish in the entire world. The oceans’ gloomy depths in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans are home to Blobfish.
