 Evidently they are the largest growing bony fish in in the ocean, reaching 11 feet and over 5000 pounds.  They start out so tiny and grow to great size that a full size adult weighs 60 million times as much as it did as an infant, it's like a sparrow growing to the size of the Titanic.  Yep those yellow lines are a parking place.  The one I saw at SBI was, just huge, the biggest thing I have ever seen in the water other then boats, subs, or whales. I could never figure out why sharks did not eat them but it turns out thier flesh has a neurotoxin in it which is not that big of a surprise when you realise they are Tetraodontiformes or in the same family as poisonous pufferfish. Makes sense, probably the only way they could grow so big while moving so slow. Cool stuff. Jim |

I snagged one of those weird things about a month ago...jumped a few times too. Hard to believe something that's built like a beer keg can jump.

Supposed to be one of the dumbest fish in the ocean. A 500 pound mola has a 4 gram brain the size of a walnut. Jim |
