A Rhode Island Department of Environmental Managem A Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management marine biologist encountered a massive ocean sunfish, or Mola mola, during a kelp monitoring dive off Newport last week.

The unusual sighting happened as the team returned from the dive and spotted the giant fish gliding through the water. The sunfish swam slowly alongside the boat and dive team, likely feeding on an area full of comb jellies, giving them a rare chance to observe it up close.

Ocean sunfish are the heaviest bony fish in the world, reaching more than 2,000 pounds. Despite their odd, disk-like shape and slow pace, they are strong swimmers capable of diving as deep as 2,000 feet.

These massive fish are seasonal visitors to Rhode Island waters, often seen basking near the surface while seabirds pick parasites from their skin. Their large dorsal fins are sometimes mistaken for sharks or even baby whales.

Little is known about the mysterious Mola mola, making encounters like this an extraordinary glimpse into the state’s rich marine life.
