What Is a Blobfish?
The blobfish is a very rare and interesting-looking fish that lives on the bottom of the ocean. It has very little muscle and a soft skeletal structure that helps it live under the pressure of the ocean water. The blobfish is part of the Psychrolutidae family, which comes from the Greek word meaning 'to have a cold bath. ' This is fitting for the blobfish, because it lives deep in the ocean where it 's far from the sun 's warmth.
The blobfish got its name because,it looks like a blob made of a jelly-like substance when it 's not in the water.
Where Do Blobfish Live?
Blobfish live in the oceans off the coasts of Australia, New Zealand,

The Blobfish 's diet is a quite small one. Blobfish mostly eat little tiny mollusks. Mollusks look like tiny little snails in the ocean. They also eat sea urchins too, a lot. Sea urchins look like spiky little balls, but believe it or not, they have legs and eyes! Five legs to be exact! The reason why the Blobfish 's diet is so small, is because it lives in a deep part in the ocean. The Blobfish are not known to die of starvation, so they must eat a lot of food. The little creatures have very little food in the deep parts of the ocean.You would never guess where a Blobfish lives. Blobfish are usually found in deepish waters of Australia! These little blobs are hard to find in these waters. They are in the open ocean. There is quite a little amount of food for the Blobfish to survive. Blobfish are 90% water! For the cause of their laziness and stillness, Blobfish are usually caught in nets by fishermen. Some unintelligent fishermen eat them. Then others set them back in tYou would guess that the Blobfish would be in the Sunlight Zone by being caught in nets, but the animal lives in the Twilight Zone! This is also called Mesopelagic zone, which is about 600-1,200 meters down in the water. It 's very dark in the twilight zone. There is little food in the twilight zone. This means it is the survival of the fittest. Most of the Blobfish get stuck in the netshe water safly. According to blobfish facts, no one has ever actually witnessed a blobfish eating. But, based on what we do know about this animal, the blobfish is not able to hunt and therefore waits patiently for food to come towards it. It opens its mouth and just sucks in whatever food source might swim past it. While we don’t know for sure, it is assumed that a blobfish feeds on sea pens, shellfish, sea urchins and crabs. If a source of food wasn’t readily available, a blobfish would most likely starve to death.The blobfish 's main predator are fishermen, who are
T. californicus is found from Alaska to Baja in small, shallow tidepools and tidal flats in the upper spray zone where they cannot avoid the full effect of visible and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Individuals assemble in areas of lower radiation at midday, yet have no preference to the intensity of light at dawn and dusk (Hartline and Macmillan 1995). These tiny arthropods inhabit all types of marine sediments from sand to fine mud and ooze. Along with plankton, T. californicus eats microscopic algae, protists, bacteria, diatoms, algae and microbes (McGroarty 1958). When the concentrations of the species in their habitats are high, T. californicus will turn to cannibalism for a food source. The nautilus eye present in the species is rich with fatty acids and provides a good food source for the animal.
The barnacle species that ranges into the warmest waters is the Chthamalus barnacle. They tend to range farther in southern waters compared to the Semibalanus
As nationalgeographic.com states, Blobfish have bit of matter in the pathway of bones or muscle which frees them to stay alive in such extremely pressurized areas.This assists the Blobfish to survive because if the blobfish had much bones or muscle then they would die from how extreme pressure in the pelagic zone where they live.Furthermore, Blobfish have very large mouths due to one of their unique adaptations. According to Noaa.gov, “No one has seen them feed, but scientists think that blobfish just open that big mouth and let little particles of food drift in, this is not a critter created to chase down its food.” This helps the blobfish because if its big mouth wasn’t there to help it catch food, it would starve to death and
The outer tentacles probe for a potential meal, then the inner sensors decide if the prey is edible. They are covered in thick, blackish-brown, water-repellent fur, and have large scaled feet and a long, thick tail. This animal is by far one of the most interesting animals in the world, despite looking like a cross between a rat and an octopus. The way it behaves and utilizes its star nose is fascinating and makes it very unique when compared to other animals.
The reason why the gummy bear expanded and swelled in water is because of diffusion and going through osmosis. The molecules did diffusion by going from high concentration (the water) to the low concentration (the gummy bear). The diffusion of the water molecules went through a selectively permeable membrane to perform osmosis. By performing diffusion and osmosis, the molecules were at an equilibrium, which is when the concentration of molecules are equal on either side of the selectively permeable membrane. Although the membrane lets certain molecules through, some larger molecules cannot pass which is how basic living things perform life processes such as transporting water in a
While most species of octopus live in shallow water there are some octopuses that are able to make a home in much deeper and cooler waters. The Dumbo Octopus, obviously getting its name from the famous Walt Disney elephant, is one of these creatures. Octopi are isosmotic, which means to have the same isosmotic pressure. This allows octopi to live in deeper waters without freezing to death. The Dumbo Octopus usually lives at a sea depth ranging from 1,300 to 23,000 feet.
In the coral reef habitat, food consumption is based on sunlight. The sunlight gives food to the plants, bacteria and algae, which is eaten by the plant eaters or herbivores, such as parrotfishes. The bigger carnivores, such as the Whitetip Reef Shark, in the ecosystem then eat those fishes along with the bacteria and plankton in the water. On the other hand, the deep sea is based on dead animal bodies or waste, shown in the fake whale carcass in the deep sea exhibit. Organisms of the deep sea feed on waste because sunlight does not have the ability to reach that deep in the ocean. Nektons are the fishes that feed on the waste produced by the epipelagic zone.

Ginkgo can grow to be 20 to 30 meters in height and 9 meters wide with a trunk size up to 4 meters.
What they do is produce light (bioluminescence) that helps the squid camouflage itself at night. The squid has a special way of sensing how much moonlight is coming down, and then using a shutter, can control how much light comes out. This makes the squid not cast a shadow, making it harder for predators and prey to see it. During the day, the squid pumps out the dead bacteria, and the process starts again. What her team did was look at how these bacteria produced their light. When they were in a dilute solution with very few bacteria, then they did not produce light. But when there were many bacteria, they did produce light. The reason this happened is because the bacteria produce these chemical messengers called Quorums, which help the bacteria know how much of them there
The crew threw harpoons at the creature, but those would not stay in the flesh for long. When the crew got close enough to put a noose around the creature, the rope tightened and cut through the animal, causing most of it to sink to the bottom of the sea. The crew, however, managed to pull the tail of the creature on board, and bring it back to the French Consul. From there, the tail and a report about the creature made its way to the French Academy of Sciences. Giant squid, of which there are many different species, have been spotted less than fifty times in the last century, but none have been seen in their natural habitat, the depths of the sea, or caught on tape.
Their flesh gradually becomes clear and their white skeleton becomes visible. Moreover, their whole body would be covered by fuzzy microalgae.
