Is the blobfish endangered and why?

The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is not currently classified as endangered, but it faces threats primarily due to deep-sea fishing practices and habitat degradation. Overfishing, particularly through trawling, can inadvertently capture blobfish and damage their habitats. Additionally, climate change impacts on ocean environments may also pose risks to their population. Conservation efforts are essential to ensure their continued survival in the wild.
