City: Carrollton, Daly City, Norfolk, North Charleston, TallahasseeThe blobfish is basically a superhero of adaptation, so it seems a bit unfair to deem take a look at the site here them ugly when they are built to thrive in a completely different environment than ours. If humans had to descend to where blobfish live, the air in our bodies would would compress due to the hydrostatic pressure and squish us. For every 10.06 meters we go down in the ocean, the pressure increases by one atmosphere. That means when you are 10 meters below the surface, the pressure is twice as much as it is on land. Since blobfish live at depths between 600 and 1,200 meters, they are constantly under pressure that is 60 to see post 120 times greater than what humans typically experience. So let's not judge them for being 'blobbier' than normal when dragged up to the surface. Want to learn more about other adaptations humans would need to live in the ocean?
