A large sunfish, inflicting even skilled fishermen to shiver, has been caught in a internet off the coast of Mie Prefecture, whereas a uncommon sight of sunfish feeding on jellyfish has been captured at an aquarium in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

The huge sunfish, flapping its fins on a fishing boat, grabbed consideration for its monumental measurement. This large, feared even by fishermen, was discovered about 10 kilometers off the coast of Owase City, Mie Prefecture, in a set internet.

Measuring round 3 meters, the sunfish’s measurement is astonishing when in comparison with the fishermen standing beside it.

‘Honestly, I was terrified at first. It’s so big,’ stated Eiichi Suzuki, a crew member of the fishing boat from Hashisa Shoten. ‘I was surprised that the video went viral on social media.’

The large sunfish was launched again into the ocean on the spot.

Meanwhile, a uncommon video of a sunfish has been captured at an aquarium in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

A sunfish approached a jellyfish floating on the water floor and swallowed it entire—a valuable sight of a sunfish consuming a jellyfish in captivity. On one other day, a sunfish was seen tearing aside a jellyfish, probably as a result of it was too huge to swallow.

‘It’s rare to see how they eat in such detail, not just the moment but also seeing them eat today and tomorrow. That makes it special,’ stated Moe Miyazawa from Shimonoseki Marine Science Museum Kaikyokan.

In the wild, sunfish are stated to primarily feed on jellyfish. However, in captivity, they get accustomed to the meals offered by the aquarium, making it unusual for them to eat jellyfish.
