WHAT IS THE BLOBFISHThe Blobfish is a deep sea fish that lives on the coasts of mainland Australia , Tasmania and New Zealand. Blobfish live at depths between 600-1200m where the pressure is several dozen times higher than at sea level. Its relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats in front of it , such as deep-ocean crustaceans. Blobfish are typically a little shorter than 30cm, and are mainly a gelatinous heap with the density a little bit less than that of water, this allows the Blobfish to float above the ocean floor . Blobfish unlike most fish do not have a “gas bladder”, which is why they are a gelatinous heap.
