Break the blobfish
Know this unique Loory Deel-Sea Critter (and why on Earth it looks like that)
Blobfish (Psychrolutes Marcidus) More than just meme. For one, the image you might know-where it looks like a purple mushroom that has just been told of a birthday being canceled-it doesn’t look like that. At least, it should not be in the wild.
How and why does it look like that? The main reason is its physical makeup. Because this species live far on the sea floor -about 2,000 and 4,000 feet -it does not have the same characteristics as many fish closer to the surface. Between their skin and muscles is a lot of fluids. Blobfish also has no bladder swimming.
“Fish with swimming bladder can customize their damp … The fish that remains at the bottom do not need to maintain its continuation.” – David Stein, a former Ichthyologist As reported by the journal.
At that depth, their gelatin body continues to survive with water pressure. Unfortunately, the images that made Blobfish famous in the first place died from pressure changes when brought to the surface for research.
