Ein stygg ein fan

Verdens styggeste fisk,

PSYCHROLUTES MACRICUSer i ferd med å bli utryddet. Fisken som lever i australske farvann trues av trålere som overfisker på dypet.
Den forferdelig stygge fisken lever nemlig så langt nede som på 800 meters dyp. Dessverre for den uspiselige fisken ingen fisker etter, er dette på samme dyp som andre verdifulle sjødyr, som krabbe og hummer.

FISKEN SES
ellers sjelden av mennesker. Den kan bli opp til 30 centimeter og kalles «blobfish» av australierne. «Blob» betyr seig, tjukk masse.
Ingen har sett fisken spise, men forskerne mener ifølge National Marine Fisheries Service, som melder om dyretragedien, at den bare åpner munnen og lar partikler drive inn

Blobfish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

image The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a deep sea fish of the family Psychrolutidae. Inhabiting the deep waters off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania,[1] it is rarely seen by humans.

Blobfish live at depths between 600–1,200 m (2,000–3,900 ft) where the pressure is several dozen times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient for maintaining buoyancy.[1] Instead, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. Its relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats in front of it. Blobfish eat invertebrates like crabs and sea pens.[citation needed]

Blobfish can be caught by bottom trawling with nets as bycatch. Such trawling in the waters off Australia may threaten the blobfish in what may be its only habitat.[2]

The blobfish is currently facing extinction due to deep-sea fishing or bottom trawling.[3]
