Seeing these little fish develop into giants is amazing. We go into greater detail about this fish.
One of the largest bony fishes in the world is the ocean sunfish, sometimes referred to as the common mola. Tropical and temperate oceans are where you can find them most frequently. They are an odd shape, with a shark-like head and fins, but a main body that is flattened laterally. They are frequently mistaken for sharks due to their fins. They are preyed upon by larger sharks and killer whales. In addition, they are prized as delicacies in Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. In their tiniest form, they resemble the sun. Less than one gramme and barely 2.5 mm long, the newly hatched fish larvae are tiny. Those who do endure increase in size by millions of times. They are capable of reaching 60 million people.
They have the capacity to increase in size up to 60 million times from birth! Of course, this is the most severe size increase ever recorded in a vertebrate species.
