The monitoring of mercury levels is required for a wide range of industries: 1  Foodâmercury levels in fish, vegetables, and drinking water. 2  Mining and oilâmercury is used in the extraction of gold; mercury traces are found in natural gas and oil.
The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a deep sea fish of the family Psychrolutidae. It inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania, as well as the waters of New Zealand.Blobfish are typically shorter than 30 cm.They live at depths between 600 and 1,200 m (2,000 and 3,900 ft) where the pressure is 60 to 120 times as great as at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient for maintaining buoyancy.lobfish are often caught as bycatch in bottom trawling nets. Scientists now fear the blobfish could become an endangered species because of deep-ocean trawling.
Binomial name: Psychrolutes marcidus. Blob fish is a strange and weirdly shaped deep-sea creature and rarely found by humans. They are native to Australian and Tasmanian deep-sea area. Blob fish lives in 600m-1200m deep and in very high pressure area, a few times higher than at the sea surface.lob fish can be found underwater with a ridiculously strange face, but this species will die as soon as it gets out of water. Blob fish can be caught by deep-sea trawling since they live in the same area as lobsters and crabs.
