Blobfish look very different when swimming than they do when they are out of the water. When swimming, their bodies become more streamlined and less blob-like. They are able to swim by undulating their dorsal and anal fins.

2024年3月21日 · The blob fish relies on its gelatinous body, which is slightly less dense than the surrounding water, to maintain its position in the water column with minimal effort. Instead of swimming through the water like many fish, blob fish are more likely to use subtle movements to navigate their deep-sea environment.

In the mysterious depths of the ocean, a peculiar creature known as the blobfish captivates marine enthusiasts with its unique adaptations. Unlike many of its piscine counterparts, the blobfish distinguishes itself by the absence of a swimming bladder.

2024年7月8日 · When a blobfish is underwater, it appears like a normal fish, with its loose-fitting skin adapting to the water pressure, giving it a more streamlined shape. However, when taken out of water, the lack of pressure causes their bodies to become gelatinous, blobby, and flabby, resulting in their distinctive appearance.

Swim bladders allow them to achieve neutral buoyancy in the water by altering the amount of air within, so they can keep from sinking or floating. Bladderless – Having pockets of air in your body is all fine and dandy when you live near the surface, but at the depths of the ocean floor, a swim bladder would burst.

Most blobfish live at the bottom of the ocean, a fact that heavily contributes to their strange appearance. They usually live in deep water, at depths between 2,000 and 4,000 feet (600 to 1,200 meters) below the surface. The immense pressure at these depths, hundreds of times greater than what we experience at sea level, dictates their unique ...

2024年1月17日 · The blobfish’s primarily gelatinous body, which has a density slightly less than water, allows them to float effortlessly near the sea floor without needing active swimming. Here is a video discussing the anatomy of blobfish in depth:

2023年10月29日 · How do the blobfish survive extreme water pressure? They have specially designed bodies. Unlike other fish that use gas-filled sacs for balance, blobfish don’t have swim bladders.
