Description The occurrence of sunfish in any sea is a
rare event. It is so rare that even fishermen
engaged in fishing throughout their lives find
it totally strange when they come across one.
On 6 May, 1986, a local fisherman reported
to the Zoology Department of the Andhra
University that a very strange looking fish was
part of that day's catch.
