(McCulloch, 1926)
The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus)[1] is a fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of the Australian mainland and Tasmania.[2] Due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, it is rarely seen by humans. Blobfish are found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. The relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats by in front of it. It can be caught by bottom trawling with nets.

Is a blob fish a vertebrate?
No. Most fish are vertebrates but the blobfish is special. It does not have any bones therefore it is a invertebrate.
What enables the blobfish to obtain oxygen?
Blobfish, like other fish, obtain oxygen through their gills. Water enters the mouth, flows over the gills, and oxygen is extracted from the water as it passes through. The blobfish's gelatinous body helps it maintain buoyancy in deep-sea environments, allowing it to efficiently breathe in low-pressure conditions. Their unique adaptations help them thrive in their deep, dark habitat.
What kingdom is the blobfish in?
The blobfish belongs to the Animalia kingdom.

Why are blobfish inedible?
Blobfish is edible, but has a poison sake that can kill you if not properly removed.
How do blobfish breath?
Blobfish, like other fish, breathe by extracting oxygen from water using their gills. Water enters through their mouths and flows over the gill membranes, where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is expelled. This process allows them to respire effectively in their deep-sea habitat, where they are typically found at depths that have high pressure and low light.
How many species of the blobfish are there left in the world?
There is only one species of blobfish. It is the Psychrolutes marcidus.
Why are blobfish so ugly?
Blobfish are ugly because they are actually called japanise blobfish, and japanise people are ugly
