•The blobfish is always grey and has a face that looks like
a human’s.
•The blobfish has a long hanging nose and a bagging
mouth.
•The blobfish is pretty much just a blob at the bottom of
the ocean.

4. Habitat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
•The blob fish lives in the ocean
• Inhabits the deep waters off the coast off
of mainland Australia and Tasmania
•The reason the blobfish is so rare to see is
because they live literally right off of the
sea bed.

5. Diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
•The blobfish eats invertebrates like crabs,
sea pens and mollusks.
•Blobfish get their food by floating and
eating anything that passes by.

6. Predators
•Other animals do not eat blobfish because
they are inedible
•The blobfish predators are actually
humans because humans are killing them
with the deep sea trawling nets

7. Life cycle
•The female blobfish lays thousands of
eggs at a time
•Unlike lots of fish the blobfish will stay with
their eggs
•The blobfish nesting habits are weird,
females actually nest almost right beside
other females laying eggs

8. How the blobfish helps the
environment
•The blobfish helps the environment by
eating all the crabs and mollusks so they
don’t overpopulate

9. How humans interact with the
blobfish environment
•Humans interact with the blobfish
environment by throwing garbage and
polluting the ocean
•This affects the blobfish environment
because all of the garbage will sink down
to the ocean floor. The blobfish will get
stuck in it and eventually they will not be
able to live in this environment and will die

10. How humans interfere with the
blobfish
•Humans interfere with the blobfish by
using the deep sea trawling nets that will
catch them and they will die.
•This is also the reason that the blobfish
are becoming extinct

11. What can be done to help the
blobfish survive?????????????
•We can help the
blobfish survive by
making sure that
no one uses the
deep sea trawling
nets so nothing
can harm
them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
