Due to their extreme environment, humans have not been able to document them properly in the wild. Only a couple of rare underwater pictures have ever been captured. Nearly everything we know is based upon dead blobfish discovered in trawling nets. The photo below is thought to be a Western Blobfish, photographed by an remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) at a depth of approx. 1220 m, 70km off Barrow Island, North West Shelf, Western Australia.
