Anyone know the latin name of this fish?
The latin term for blobfish is "Psychrolutes marcidus", and it inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania.





I too am from Melbourne and live just a few blocks away from the aquarium. I'll have to go see it sometime :)
Reply:The latin word for fish is "idiot". I saw it in a translator. Very interesting. Them there translators all over the web now-a-days. Very easy to access. You should try it. =]
