Seeking the sun in deep, dark places: mesopelagic sightings of ocean sunfishes (Molidae).

N D Phillips1, C Harrod2, A R Gates3, T M Thys4, J D R Houghton1,5.   

Abstract

Evidence is presented from publicly available remotely operated vehicle (ROV) footage that suggests deep-water ranging in ocean sunfishes (family Molidae) is more common than typically thought, including a new maximum depth recorded for the southern sunfish Mola ramsayi.
