Family Molidae with three genera (Ranzania,
Masturus and Mola) and four species are known as
the world’s heaviest fishes with a planktivorous diet.
Known for their truncated anatomy, these fishes are
characterized by lack of caudal bones, ribs and
pelvic fins (Tifler, 1980). A southern ocean sunfish
Mola ramsayi with total length 111cm and weighing
50kg was landed at Munambam Fisheries Harbour
on 6 September 2013.
