There is only one species of blobfish. It is the Psychrolutes marcidus.
The blobfish belongs to the Animalia kingdom.
Blobfish, like many deep-sea fish, do not exhibit parental care after laying eggs. The females release their eggs into the water, and once fertilized, the eggs are left to develop independently. As a result, blobfish do not spend any time with their mothers after hatching.
well sense you people out there are killing these precious fish, there are only about close to 420 blobfish left. thanks for killing them, NOT
I dont know how mach does a blobfish weight does anyone know?
A blobfish is an ectotherm, meaning it relies on external environmental conditions to regulate its body temperature. Ectothermic animals, like the blobfish, typically inhabit environments where their body temperature fluctuates with the surrounding water temperature. This adaptation is common in many marine species, particularly those living at great depths, where the blobfish is found.
A Blobfish weighs about 20 pounds.
Sharks typically do not eat blobfish, as they inhabit different depths of the ocean. Blobfish are usually found at depths of around 2,000 to 4,000 feet, while many shark species prefer shallower waters. Additionally, blobfish have a gelatinous structure that makes them less appealing as prey. Therefore, interactions between sharks and blobfish are rare.
Blobfish is edible, but has a poison sake that can kill you if not properly removed.
There are 110 left in the world
It is difficult to estimate the exact number of blobfish that die each year. The blobfish population is threatened by overfishing and habitat destruction, which puts them at risk of extinction. Conservation efforts are in place to protect this unique species and prevent further decline in their population.
About 79,000 are left in the world
