0 mottyman Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It's a "Blob Fish" (Common Name). Although, I can't imagine why it has that name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fathead (genus /Psychrolutes)/ fish found on the Norfolk Ridge, New Zealand. The photo was taken by Kerryn Parkinson of the Australiam Museum Fish Dept, who affectionately called it "Mr. Blobby."

0 Flattieman Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Correct Mottyman!! A fathead (genus /Psychrolutes)/ fish found on the Norfolk Ridge, New Zealand. The photo was taken by Kerryn Parkinson of the Australiam Museum Fish Dept, who affectionately called it "Mr. Blobby." Lovely-looking fish, the blobfish. Was that caught on the NORFANZ expedition by any chance? Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say Flattieman. I notice on the Fishbase website, they appear off Broken Bay as well, so not entirely a rare find. http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSum...esname=marcidus They certainly aren't the most photogenic of fish.
