All about human faced blob fish

The Blob fish is rare species of underwater it is mainly found in some regions. The region like Australia and Tasmania but it is very rare species and the people can’t see the fish just like that in all time it will come up in rare situation. It lives only at the deep of the sea. Majority of fishes can’t survive in most depth of the sea. The depth of the sea is around 800 meters below from the normal sea. Many people say it looks ugly. Its structure looks like a jellylike substance the jellylike substance is helpful for sinking in the sea the substance is very less.

The structure of blob fish:

The Blob fish consist of jellylike substance they don’t have muscles in the body they search and wait for food in same place for the prey. The usual diet for Blob fish is Deep Sea urchins and sea mollusks. The blob fish will float if they want food. They won’t take action if they want food they won’t attack the prey and eat so the blob fish will get the food rarely but for that body the limited food is enough. Most of the times the Blob fish float in same spot its stops in one place and search for the food. The Behavior of Blob fish is. It won’t move one place to another for searching the foods because it’s a lazy fish to search its prey.

The parenting habit of this fish is. The Blob fish lays thousands of eggs at a time and care the eggs again it will float for some time to search the deep sea foods in rare cases and sit on eggs to keep the eggs safe and it gives warm to the eggs. Its nesting habit is exciting to all because all of them know that it is lazy fish some times its eggs nesting together with some other fish so it’s a lazy fish to do all activities. It resembles like a human faced fish if by mistakenly keep the fish out it will die soon and the jellylike substance is dried soon.  For fishermen the fish is not useful and it leads to loss.

New Species of yeti crab found near volcanic vents

An unknown species of yeti crab “lost world” is found in the oceans of Antarctica near hot, hydrothermal vent along with strange albino octopus. Robot Submersible with cameras found a new deep sea creatures like crabs, barnacles, sea anemones and an octopus.

These groups are livelihood approximately volcanic vents profound under the southern ocean, where hotness can arrive at 382C. Hydrothermal vents with sustaining minerals are found to be the living place of these unknown species of the deep sea.

Unknown species get their energy from the chemicals such as hydrogen sulphide instead of getting energy from the sunlight.  “The first survey of these particular vents, in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, has revealed a hot, dark, ‘lost world’ in which whole communities of previously unknown marine organisms thrive.” A strange pale-coloured octopus, as so far nameless, was also found almost 2,400 meters profound on the sea bed.

Saw Shark Species found among new species

Four new deep sea sharks including a “rapier wielding” sawshark are among 140 new species discovered by California Academy of Sciences researchers in 2011, the institution announced in December.

The African dwarf sawshark (Pristiophorus nancyae) was accidentally captured in a 1,600-foot-deep (490-meter-deep) trawl off Mozambique. The animal is only the seventh species of sawshark known to science, according to David Ebert, a research associate at the Academy.

The predator has a long, tooth-studded snout that it uses like a sword, whipping the appendage through schools of fish and then returning to eat any casualties.

Along with the sawshark, a new species of angel shark, Squatina caillieti, was named from a single specimen collected in 1,200-foot-deep (370-meter-deep) water off the Philippine island of Luzon, Ebert said.

Bottom-dwelling angel sharks, whose large pectoral fins resemble wings, lie partially buried in sediment and ambush passing prey.

In addition, two species of lanternshark in the Etmopterus genus were also discovered in Taiwan and South Africa, respectively.

Do whales suffer from the bends like human divers?

Researches had found that deep sea animals whale also can suffer from the bends like human divers. This sickness happens because of rapid reach to the surface while they are diving and origins by nitrogen bubbles appearance in the bloodstream move as of insistent underwater surroundings. This disease causes pain, skin rashes and even it leads to death in whales.

The scientist also had found extreme human sound such as revelation to armed forces might confuse whales and seals and directing to them losing their normal protection tendency against the disease. The sign to ‘the bends’ captivating grasp is the form of bubbles in the bodies of oceanic mammals. Bubbles are rooted by force raises in nitrogen intensities in the blood and body cells, chased by reduce pressure that sources nitrogen to approach away as bubbles. Sudden noise may cause serious illness or injury during the diving of oceanic mammals.

Most surprising ability of deep sea fish

The Latern fish is a deep sea fish which has the different characteristic of producing light in its body. This light is produced by small organ called as photophores. This organ gives off light due to the chemical process present in it. The photophores organs lie in the fish’s head, bottom and tail. This different organ is used for latern fish to attract and feed the small fishes. 200 variety species of this fishes are found in the deep sea. The females discharge their eggs into the water column as a group where they are then fertilized outwardly by the males. Depending on the species, between 100 and 2,000 eggs are discharged by each fish.

They spend the day in the deep ocean but come close to the surface at night in search of food. They do this to go after the similar migrations of plankton, which serve as their primary food source. It is thought that these migrations may also serve to help the lantern fish avoid predation. By returning to the deep sea during the day, they avoid many of the large predators in the shallower seas. At shallower depths, lantern fish provide an important food source to a number of organisms including whales, dolphins, tuna, sharks, seals, squid, and sea birds.

Super predator with 30,000 lens in each eyes

A predator which gives different looks like “shrimp” have 30,000 lenses in each eye which will provide most cleared vision.  These deep sea creatures had found in the Australia’s Kangaroo Island of three feet long whose common name is Anomalocaris. Its eyes size ranges about 0.8 to 1.2 inches long. This species belongs to the period of 515 million years ago.

The most important animal of the Cambrian period, Anomalocaris had an encircling, protected jaws with teeth-like raggedness and spiky arms for gripping prey such as trilobites, a kind of vanished arthropod.

At the Kangaroo Island site, scientists also found Anomalocaris coprolites or fossilized poop in the shale deposits. The latest study presents more evidence that the creature was the predator of its era almost certainly the huge white shark of the Cambrian ocean.

Does deep sea creatures “Lung Fish” can walk?

Latest research found out that African lungfish has the ability to walk with their fins under the water. Generally these types of fish don’t have the feet but the behavior of this fish gave surprise to every researchers. This deep sea fishes was kept at lab in the glass tanks, on observing its movement under the water they also made the studies on the land surface and researches found that Lung fish of this type can walk with their pelvic fins.

Lungfish and other so-called lobe-finned fishes are supposed to be close livelihood relations of the first known tetra pods-four-limbed animals with backbones. This study tells us that walking behaviors are not elite to tetra pods in that period and proposes that the evolutionary way to land on foot began with their finny ancestors. The result further propose that relic paths before accredited to near the beginning land tetra pods with feet or at least toe like digits may instead have been left by lobe-finned fishes touching along the waterbed.

Substance carried by sharks acts as antiviral drugs for Humans

Latest research had found that compound present in the shark’s cells has been help to fight against various viral infections. The substance which is present in the body of the shark named as “Squalamine” that is already been used for curing human eye-disorders and cancer. Now, it’s also been helpful for curing various human diseases such as dengue fever and hepatitis. It stops the virus from replicating and destroys the virus life cycle. This antiviral drug has been found by Zasloff while searching for the drug to stop bacterial diseases in deep sea sharks.

Squalamine is active against six viruses, although they also found that it does have some toxicity and other side special effects in assured cell types at dosages approximately similar to those that were necessary for antiviral efficiency. Although there is abundance of drugs to delight bacterial diseases, there are not many drugs that are effectual in opposition to viruses. Present antiviral drugs are highly exact, each one aiming presently damage of a virus, but damages can simply change and turn out to be dead set against to the drug.

Top most colorful ‘Mandarin’ fish

The most brightly and attractive mandarin fish is belongs to the family of the dragonet. It is inhabitant to the Pacific, varying about from the Ryukyu Islands south to Australia. Mandarin fish color is blue due to its cellular pigment and they are reef dwellers, preferring sheltered lagoons and inshore reefs. It is found in the deep sea of about 1-10m from the land surface. The scientific name of these attractive deep sea creatures is Synchiropus splendidus.

Normally a nonviolent fish, but can be defensive and battle with similar species of the similar sex. It size ranges about 2-2.5 ft and it named as the most colorful fish in the world. The male Mandarin be likely to be bigger than the female and has a big sharp dorsal fin that is merely not often showed.  Mandarins are tremendously sluggish and float, using their front fins while looking for food.  Even Mandarins that take prepared foods have a hard time contending with quicker fish for the scraps.

Single celled animal ‘Xenophyophores’ found in new depth

Xenophyophores, single celled animal have discovered recently in the western Pacific Ocean. It was found in the long depth of ocean and it has been previously noticed in the New Hebrides Trench, south-west Pacific Ocean, at a 7500 km depth.

In western Pacific Ocean it was observed in the depth of 10,600 km below the earth’s surface. These deep sea animals are often ranges in size from 10cm in diameter. These animals contain variety of species vary widely in their appearance, ranging from compressed disks to spheres, and from angular to frilly.

The one species of these animals contains many bough tubes which is located below the earth. Xenophyophores can live in extreme cold and high pressure of ocean trench life, but are breakable and its hardly impossible to bring back again to the surface. In some place of the ocean surface 2000 species have been found 100 square meters below the earth.
