Psychrolutes microporos is a species of deepwater marine fish in the family Psychrolutidae, commonly known as a blobfish or fathead.

[2] A specimen of Psychrolutes microporos was trawled by the RV James Cook and Doctor Ignacio Hernández Ricordi in 1983 and described by Joseph Nelson in 1995.

[citation needed] Psychrolutes microporos is a whitish colour and is flattened laterally, with a wide mouth.

[7] Two specimens were collected in the month-long NORFANZ Expedition of 2003 which was examining the biodiversity of the seamounts and slopes of the Norfolk Ridge.

[8] The texture of Psychrolutes microporos's body is gelatinous, a feature often found in deep sea fish.
