Do you have photos of Sunfish (aka Mola) sighted off the coast of British Columbia or Alaska? If you do, you can help research into these fascinating fish by uploading your photos with date and location to the from below. We are striving to help researchers Dr. Marianne Nyegaard, Dr. Tierney Thys, and Tor Mowatt-Larssen in their work to better understand Sunfish.

See the February 2, 2021 CBC news article announcing this: Meet the Hoodwinker, the Ocean Sunfish we Misidentified for Years.  See this link for full details on the Project including a presentation by Dr. Marianne Nyegaard on the distinction between the species.
