摘要: We report a bump-head sunfish Mola alexandrini (120-130 cm estimated total length) photographed from manned submersible at depth of 220 m off Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, in May 2004. is often misidentified as the ocean mola. This individual represented three records for this species: first record by submersible, second mesopelagic zone north-west Pacific Ocean and new distributional Japan.
