Blobfish

The Blobfish lives in the bathydemersal, marine, depth range 600 - 1200 m environment.

The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of the Australian mainland and Tasmania. Due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, it is rarely seen by humans. More
