the noble creatures that are referred to as "bl*bfish" are only refered to as such because they take on melted forms once they are taken out of their habitat. in their natual environment, they are completely normal fish. they only become "blobs" once their tissues explode from depressurization, as the natural pressure of the deep ocean is what stabilizes their bodies.

for those of you who disregard the health of psychrolutes and carelessly refer to psychrolutes as "blobfish", your time on this earthly realm is limited.

Some info i found by googling a lot of stuff about Pyschrolutidae (Blobfish)

The Viral "blobfish" photo is of a "Psychrolutes microporos", although many think it's the "Pyschrolutes marcidus", which is closely related

However the common image of "what they actually look like" is neither

This is a "Psychrolutes phrictus" which have "cirri" or these fleshy spikes everywhere over them, which neither the microporos nor marcidus have. Here's some images of Psychrolutidae without it:

also they have actual names!! any psychrolutidae can be called Flathead/Tadpole Sculpins, or Toadfish. The marcidus is also called an Australian Sculpin, and the microporos doesnt have it's own name :(

please tell me if i got anything wrong 👍

[starship-passenger]

I was researching psychrolutes and I found a picture of someone holding one while looking so incredibly distraught that I had to make this meme.

Creature 89

Psychrolutes marcidus

A.K.A. the blobfish. Blobfish are found in the oceans of Australia, Tasmania and New Zeland. They live at extreme depths where the pressure is between 60-120 times greater than it is at sea level. Well blobfish are kind of jelly like due to their lack of muscle, they don’t really look like the pink blobs their popularly depicted as. That pink blob happens when the fish are taken up to the surface and thus depressurized (basically exploded).

Enough depressurized blobfish. I'm here to spread living blobfish propaganda.

Look at them. Gorgeous. Wonderful. Living comfortably at depths to over 1,200 meters in the ocean. Be nice to them.

A blobfish, also known as a flathead sculpin (Psychrolutes phrictus), hovers in the caldera at Axial Seamount, approximately 300 miles off the Oregon coast. There are nine species of blobfish, all members of the Psychrolutes genus which live deep in the sea.

[zapsoda]

man i love those fish as much as the next guy and i think "blobfish" is a repulsive name but calling the species "psychrolutes" is like referring to housecats as a species as "felis"

"i love felis" "heres my drawing of a felis" thats not even its correct scientific name thats a fucking genus

#blobfish afaik is really the only common name that refers specifically to that species #so acting like its a moral failing for people to call them that is pretty fucking stupid #if you wanna be pretentious about it call them psychrolutes marcidus or p. marcidus #i do find it horrific how common the depressurized image is #its like if all anyone knew about rabbits came from one image of a corpse that had been mangled by a predator #also as a hater of the “blobby and friends” comics #i got a sick sadistic sort of pleasure out of finding out their depiction of the fish was‚ itself‚ problematic

[birthofvcnus]

g-dragon looks like a blobfish 💀💀💀💀💀💀

#i can bully him bc he’s a terrible person <3 #btw i know it’s not the fish’s real name and that it only looks like that because its tissues exploded from the pressure of going from the #abyss to the surface but he really looks like it 💀 #no hate to the psychrolutes <3

psychrolutes marcidus be upon ye

i absolutely love blobfish thanks anon

#🍓 ask #what would be the plural form of psychrolutes marcidus 😭😭 #anon

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

The blobfish, or sculpins, have a lot of adaptations to help them survive at the bottom of the ocean; most notable is the lack of a swim bladder-- an air-filled sack that other fish use to help them swim. Instead, sculpins have a jelly-like layer of fat underneath their skin which makes them slightly less dense than the water around them and allows them to bob along the ocean floor with minimal effort. Turns out being fat and lazy has its advantages!
