One of these goopy fish was accidentally pulled from the depths of the sea near Australia in a trawling rig in 2003. Since then, a few more blobfish have been caught by accident, but this species is still mostly a mystery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_753a19-f1, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_753a19-f1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_753a19-f1\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_753a19-f1 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_753a19-f1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_753a19-f1\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_753a19-f1 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_753a19-f1\"><a><\/a>Blobfish do not have a swim bladder.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a>Swim bladders are gas-filled organs that are used by most fish to maintain buoyancy, but not blobfish. Due to the immense pressure of their deep-sea habitat, blobfish can not have a swim bladder because they would pop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>The ocean depth they live at has enough pressure to crush a human.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a>It is believed that blobfish live at oceanic depths around 2,000 to 3,900 feet. At such a point the pressure is 60 to 120 times as intense as the pressure humans experience at sea level. Unless you have a deep-sea submarine on hand, this is not an easy journey to make.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_92de19-34, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_92de19-34[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_92de19-34\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_92de19-34 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_92de19-34[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_92de19-34\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_92de19-34 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_92de19-34\"><a><\/a>Their body density controls their buoyancy.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a>If blobfish don\u2019t have a swim bladder, then how can they possibly control their buoyancy? The simple answer is body density. Blobfish have evolved to have a body density that is naturally slightly less dense than the water they live in, as a result, they can effortlessly float right above the seafloor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_0c8cf5-8a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_0c8cf5-8a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_0c8cf5-8a\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_0c8cf5-8a mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_0c8cf5-8a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_0c8cf5-8a\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_0c8cf5-8a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_0c8cf5-8a\"><a><\/a>A scaleless wonder of the deep.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a>Your eyes do not deceive you, this fish has no sales. Its pink skin is slimy, loose, and smooth.

This odd fish lacks a skeletal system and most of a muscular system. Their body structure seems to melt when they are brought to the ocean\u2019s surface because they only have a light cartilage frame supporting their body.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7f8721-1d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7f8721-1d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7f8721-1d\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7f8721-1d mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_7f8721-1d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7f8721-1d\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading_7f8721-1d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_7f8721-1d\"><a><\/a>Blobfish are not a small deep-sea oddity.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a>With very few images of these fish available, it can be hard to conceptualize their size. At first glance, this may seem like a small goopy fish that can fit in the palm of your hand, but blobfish can actually grow to be over two feet in length.
