Why Should You Save the Blobfish ?

ARE THE BLOBFISH ENDANGERED?
No, the Blobfish are not
officially on the endangered
species list, but scientist fear that this will happen due to the fact that sea trawlers accidentally catch Blobfish. When the
Blobfish are brought to the
surface in fishing nets, due to the pressure change, their
stomach is forced through it’s mouth, causing it to “explode”, and die. On rare occasions the Blobfish don’t explode, this is why there are photos of them. However when they come out of the water they immediately die.

HOW WOULD IT AFFECT THE ECO-SYSTEM IF THE BLOBFISH WENT EXTTICT?
If the Blobfish went extinct the crustaceans and molluscs, which they eat, would over populate, causing an
Imbalance. Since nothing eats the
Blobfish, because they are inedible due to being a gelatine-like heap, it is us
humans doing the damage to them.
