The ocean sunfish or common mola, Mola mola, is the heaviest known bony fish in the world. It has an average adult weight between 247 and 1,000 kg (545–2,205 lb). The species is native to tropical and temperate
waters around the globe. It resembles a fish head with a tail, and its
main body is flattened laterally. Sunfish can be as tall as they are
long when their dorsal and ventral fins are extended.
Sunfish live on a diet consisting mainly of jellyfish,
but because this diet is nutritionally poor, they consume large amounts
to develop and maintain their great bulk. Females of the species can
produce more eggs than any other known vertebrate, up to 300,000,000 at a time. Sunfish fry resemble miniature pufferfish, with large pectoral fins, a tail fin, and body spines uncharacteristic of adult sunfish.
Adult sunfish are vulnerable to few natural predators, but sea lions, killer whales, and sharks will consume them. Among humans, sunfish are considered a delicacy in some parts of the world, including Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. In the EU, regulations ban the sale of fish and fishery products derived from the family Molidae. Sunfish are frequently caught in gillnets.
A member of the order Tetraodontiformes, which also includes pufferfish, porcupinefish, and filefish, the sunfish shares many traits common to members of this order. The ocean sunfish, Mola mola, is the type species of the genus.

Ocean (1800 London)
Ocean was an East Indiaman, launched in 1800, that made four trips for the Honourable East India Company. She is most famous for her participation, in 1803, in the battle of Pulo Aura. She foundered in 1811 while on her fifth trip.
Career
Captain Andrew Patton sailed Ocean for Bombay and China. He had been captain of the company's previous Ocean, which had wrecked in 1797. Because the French Revolutionary Wars were still on going, Patton received a letter of marque, which was dated 10 December 1800.
Ocean left Portsmouth on 9 January 1801 and reached on 22 May. From there she sailed for China. She reached Whampoa on 6 October. On the return leg she crossed the Second Bar on 7 December. She arrived at Saint Helena on 12 April 1802, and The Downs on 10 June.
On Ocean's
second voyage, Patton was again her captain and he left The Downs on 13
October 1802 for the Cape of Good Hope, Madras, Bombay and China. After
the resumption of war with France
in 1803, Patton posthumously received a new letter of marque dated 1
July 1803 for the same vessel, with a crew of 140 men and 36 guns.
Patton died at Bombay in June 1803; Ocean's first lieutenant, John Christian Lochner, became captain and it was he that commanded her at the battle of Pulo Aura. Ocean reached Britain on 15 August 1804.

National Geographic Explorer Tierney Thys,
marine biologist and adventurer extraordinaire, is perhaps best known
for her work tracking massive 10-foot long, 5,000-pound ocean sunfish,
or mola, around the globe. Her research on giant mola has spanned over a
decade, and this breezy Northern Californian gives no indication of slowing down anytime soon.

the duo acted as lead science advisers for the performance Okeanos, a
multidisciplinary portrait of ocean life through dance.
Tierney conveys an inspiring message of hope, even amidst seemingly
constant bad news. "I see incredible hope in the eyes of our children,"
says Tierney. She is currently working with National Geographic Student Expeditions to create a summer marine-biology expedition for high-schoolers in Belize.
Her work in the field, in classrooms, and on-line as the Daily Explorer in National Geographic's Animal Jam, an interactive game for young explorers-in-training, makes Tierney one of our most well-rounded and well-respected Emerging Explorers.
