Blobfish is a deep sea fish of the family Psychrolutidae. Inhabits the deep waters off the coast of mainland Australia and Tasmania, these fish are rarely seen by humans.

These fish live in the ocean depths where the pressure is several dozen times higher than at sea level, which is likely to make the gas bladder is not efficient to maintain buoyancy. Instead, the meat of this fish has a density that is lighter than water, it allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy to swim. The relative lack of muscle in the fish is not something detrimental because Blobfish can eat anything floating in front of him. Blobfish eat invertebrates such as crabs and sea pens.

Blobfish is currently facing extinction because of fishing in the sea or because trawl. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Institute USA, blobfish described as large-bodied fish like tadpoles, supple skin like jelly, a big nose, and had a big black eye.

If considered more carefully, blobfish face looks like the face of someone who gloomy and sad. Mucus out of her face even looks like a tear dripping. Blobfish body in general have an average length of 12 inches. The main food of these fish are crabs and lobster.

Blobfish can be found in the waters of southeast Australia and Tasmania at depths of 2,000 to 4,000 feet below the sea. Blobfish was selected as the worst animal after winning the online voting held by Ugly Animal Preservation Society on the website YouTube. The purpose of voting is to show the world community that there is still a lot of biodiversity in the world.

Blobfish threatened with extinction as a result of the action of fishing on a large scale. Although not edible, Blobfish live in water depths similar to other marine organisms that can be consumed, such as crab and lobster.

Thanks to fishing techniques that do not harm endangered species, the scientists managed to capture Blobfish for later study.
