Those are two different species of the same genus. The one on the left is a blob sculpin. On the right is a smooth-head blobfish.

Rapid ascend has nothing to do with it. Its the humongous pressure difference...

Are you sure? Isn't it the quick expansion of gases inside, that would not happen in a slow ascension?

Yeah there's a lot of pressure on getting your picture taken. I farted out of pure anxiety once.

More like the change in pressure

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

They were referring to decompression. Look up the "bends" for divers. Basically gas in blood and tissue expand in the body from lower pressu

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

Right. Pressure drives nitrogen into solution during deep dives, and a rising too fast forms bubbles and terrible joint pain.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Only happens with SCUBA, doesn't happen if you free dive, because scuba puts pressurized air in you when you are down.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's probably evolved considerable outward pressure to withstand crushing pressure in their absence it puffs. Similar thing happens to

Extremeophilic microbes. they might have a very flexible or rigid cell wall for pressure or heat. Outside their zone they explode

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

No it has nothing to do with the speed of ascent. Simply the difference in pressure thousands of feet under the ocean vs being sea level.

5 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 3

It can only be caused by expansion of gases and those, I think, in a slow climb, would equalise instead of bursting

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Lmao, just take the fucking L ya loser. The it's a combination of both causing such a drastic change.

It would happen even if brought up slowly, unless the pressure remained the same.

Not if you let it decompress enough, atleasy thats what they teach us at diving school

That's why depressurisation makes astronautics so dangerous.

If brought slowly, I believe the gases with equalise without bursting

Something that needs that much pressure... I think the low pressure will fuck them up, regardless.

Like with deep sea divers and the bends.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Only an issue if you inject pressurized gas into it before you bring it up.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They have gas dissolved in their tissues (oxygen, CO2, and others) that will expand, like astronauts in space

You are correct. It's why our bodies don't explode everytime we fly in an airplane.

Partly. Cabins are still pressurized and climate controlled.

1 cabins are pressurized 2 sea level is 15 psi. Space is about 4. It lives at 900ish psi. At the shallowest end of it's habbitat.

Can we not somehow verify this, by breeding one in captivity? Like, have some birthed in an aquarium not pressurized, another in pressurized

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

There's no way to breed them in captivity, since their forms at the surface are not compatible with life.

Not even in the high pressure tanks of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where the famous deep water octopi recently named Adoriblis are kept?

No need. Can be verified with math

Math can determine if a complex trait like this is evolved versus adapted?

Conditions, then slowly alleviate the pressure, to let them acquiesce with the reduced pressure environment. I'm sure some sea lab can go...

The term atmosphere pressure measures the pressure at sea level, being 1 atm. Every 10 meters under is another atmospheric unit or 14.6 ppsi

Just out of curiosity, what’s the metric equivalent to the ‘pounds per square inch?’ Just asking because you mentioned meters also. And im ?

Pascals (Pa) 1 atm is about 101kPa

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

1 atm = 14.6 psi = 760 torr = 760 mmHg = 29.9 in.Hg = 101,325 pascals = 101.325 kilopascals. Metric might just be mm Mercury
