Beached sunfish samples added to CSIRO’s Australian National Fish Collection
Several adult sunfish from the family Molidae have washed up on Tasmanian beaches over the past month.
The rarely seen and elusive fish are the largest bony fish species in the world and have a distinctive flattened appearance.
Helen O’Neill of CSIRO’s Australian National Fish Collection (ANFC) said adults of Mola mola, the Ocean Sunfish, the largest of the five sunfish species, can grow to more than three metres in diameter and weigh up to 2500 kg.
“Sunfish swim in solitary out in the open ocean following ocean currents but occasionally enter coastal areas,” Ms O’Neill said.

THE beaching of multiple rare sunfish at separate corners of the state has experts intrigued by why the species is appearing on Tasmanian shores.
Beachgoers at Ralphs Bay, including Lindisfarne mum Triona O'Neill, got a shock last week when they saw a dead 1.96cm Hoodwinker sunfish had washed ashore.
The species - which can grow to 2300kg - is regarded as the largest bone fish in the world.

The organization also moved an Amazon dolphin with a pinkish belly the Tucuxi to its endangered list, meaning that all of the world's freshwater dolphins are now threatened
A shark only just formally discovered might already be extinct - a fate no shark has yet suffered in the human era - while an Amazon river dolphin has become endangered, a Red List of species in trouble showed on Thursday.
More than a quarter of the 128,918 animal, plant and fungi species assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in its update are now threatened with extinction. The latest list has 31 new extinctions including several frogs and more than a dozen freshwater fish.
