Blobfish often get caught in fishing nets due to their habitat in deep waters, where they are inadvertently captured during commercial fishing operations targeting other species. These fish are typically found at depths of 2,000 to 4,000 feet, and when trawlers pull nets from the ocean floor, blobfish can become entangled. Additionally, their gelatinous bodies make them particularly vulnerable and prone to damage when brought to the surface, often leading to high mortality rates.

How do whales get caught in fishing nets?

Whales can become entangled in fishing nets due to their size and swimming behavior. When they swim through or near nets set for fishing, they may inadvertently get caught, especially in gillnets, which are designed to trap fish by the gills. The entanglement can cause physical injury, restrict their movement, and lead to drowning if they are unable to surface for air. Additionally, the use of floating gear can make it difficult for whales to detect and avoid these nets.

How many Gospels mention full fishing nets?

Only the Gospel of John specifically mentions full fishing nets. In John 21:6, it describes how the disciples caught a large number of fish after following Jesus' instruction to cast their nets on the right side of the boat. While other Gospels mention fishing and fishermen, they do not specifically reference full nets in the same manner as John.
