The Full Story
The ocean sunfish is the largest living bony fish, not counting sharks and rays, which are cartilaginous. Large adults commonly weigh hundreds of kilograms, and exceptional individuals can exceed 1,000 kg. Its flattened body and truncated shape make it very different from typical fish. It is found in temperate and tropical oceans and often basks near the surface, where it can be seen drifting on its side.
