The ocean sunfish (Mola mola) is the world's largest known bony fish (sharks and rays are cartilaginous, not bony).The mola are the heaviest of all the bony fish, with large specimens reaching 14 feet vertically and 10 feet horizontally and weighing nearly 5,000 pounds. Sunfish live on a diet consisting mainly of jellyfish, but because this diet is nutritionally poor, who consume large amounts to develop and maintain their body bulk. Females can produce as many as 300 million eggs at a time, more than any other known vertebrate.
