Dredged up off the coast of New Zealand during a 2003 research voyage, the specimen has spent the last decade suspended in a 70 percent ethyl-alcohol solution. “The fixation process tightened Mr. Blobby’s skin and collapsed his—or her—snout,” laments Mark McGrouther, the museum’s fish manager. “He—or she—now looks like an 85-year-old Mr. Blobby.” Indeed, these days the Blobster suggests nothing so much as a freshly Botoxed baked potato. Has there ever been crueler proof that alcohol changes the way you look? The researchers’ findings suggest that fish do not feel pain the way humans do. Instead, they conclude that fish do not have the neuro-physiological capacity for a conscious awareness of pain. This is an important distinction, as it means that fish are not suffering in the same way that humans do when they experience pain. This research has implications for the way we treat fish, and for the fishing industry as a whole. One day while surveying the Tangaroa’s recently departed, expedition photographer and marine ecologist Kerryn Parkinson came upon what Mark McGrouther describes as a “very soft, very goopy fish, about the length of a comic book. While the ship swayed, the jiggly mass slid to and fro, even in death.” Drooping from its lower lip—like the unlit cigarette that forever dangled from Humphrey Bogart’s—was a parasitic copepod. A blob within a blob. The rapid change in pressure is fatal for the blobfish, which is built for the high pressure deep sea environment only. They die out of the water instantly. 11. Blobfish are not considered a delicacy.

The specimens gathered during the voyage were divvied up among the participating researchers, based on their expertise and specialities. The blobfish ended up preserved in a jar in the collection of the Australian Museum in Sydney. Spesies blobfish dapat ditemukan di kantung-katung terdalam laut di kedalaman antara 600 sampai 1.200 meter. Unlike most fish, deep sea fish do not have air-filled cavitites, which act as buoyancy and help with movement. They would collapse under sheer pressure at the depths they live. They rely on their jelly like flesh to provide the required support instead. 8. Blobfish don’t spend much energy moving around.

Seperti halnya ikan di kedalaman laut, blobfish tidak memiliki swim bladder atau gelembung renang, organ yang membantu ikan mendekati permukaan untuk mengatur kemampuan mengapung. Bila blobfish mencoba naik, tekanan kuat akan menghancurkan ikan jenis ini. The blobfish is a slow-moving fish that moves around by simply bobbing along in the water or on the sea bed. We know they produce eggs and we think they guard their nests,” says Kerryn. “We now know they’re an ambush predator.” In this article, we’ll explore some other fascinating facts about the blobfish, including what it really looks like, its habitat, conservation status, and its ecological or scientific importance.

This is important for their survival since the deep marine environment tends to be nutrient deficient, which means the blobfish needs to survive on a restricted diet. This famous image of a blobfish earned it the title of the world’s ugliest endangered animal—but this flabby appearance is only how the fish looks when pulled up from its highly pressurized deep-sea habitat. Instead of this air sac, the blobfish relies on its gelatinous body, which has a density slightly less than that of water. Other users created parodies of the comic satirizing the strong reaction of the blobfish. User @mediissoccus [5] posted a parody in which the blobfish gets stabbed in the last panel, gaining over 230 retweets and 2,300 likes (shown below, left). User @dawndeera [6] posted a parody where the girl from the Blobby comic and the bear from the Preston comic join forces, gaining over 80 likes (shown below, right). Scientists currently have very limited information about the reproductive behavior and life cycle of blobfish due to the challenges of studying them in their natural environment.Kerryn’s image has been repurposed by the internet in thousands of cruel and creative ways. Mr Blobby birthed the ‘Go Home Evolution, You’re Drunk’ meme. He was voted the world’s ugliest animal in 2013 and became the poster child for the UK’s Ugly Animal Preservation Society. He’s been printed on phone cases, t-shirts, doonas and tote bags. In 2019 Kim Kardashian’s eldest child, North West, sprang from a pink hummer sporting fluffy Mr Blobby slippers. You probably recognise the face. But what you may not realise is that this viral fish was a New Zealander, hauled up from the depths of the Norfolk Ridge, north-west of mainland Aotearoa.

Over the last two decades, the blobfish has become “a poster pin-up for discovering new things” and “all the stuff down there we still don’t know about”, Parkinson says.

Nineteen years later, the preserved Mr Blobby is far more reflective of what blobfish actually look like in their natural habitat. And thanks to footage captured by submersibles, we’re learning more about their behaviour and biology. Since then, its saggy pink form and relatable resting grumpy face has inspired soft toys, comics and songs. In 2019, budding fashionista North West stepped out wearing blobfish slippers .
