Unlike most other fish, the blobfish has no water bubble - the part that allows the fish to swim and swim.

Because of such depth, the pressure of the water will make the fish bubble useless. Instead, blobfish are made of pasty gelatin blocks of less density than water, which helps them float below the ocean floor.

This fish is unique in that they do not own any muscle tissue . They live in a place where there is little food so blobfish has a somewhat . idle prey.

So far, the reproductive process of Blobfish remains a mystery to scientists. All that science knows is that children will lay thousands of small eggs right at the bottom of the ocean, then either themselves or their partners will sit eggs until the eggs hatch.

Marine experts, Professor Callum Roberts from the University of York (UK), said: ' Blobfish is very vulnerable to catching nets and according to what we know, this fish only lives in a limited area. The fishing fleets in Australia and New Zealand are very active while blobfish are slow fish, so they are very vulnerable to fishing. '
