Sunfish
Every once in awhile, a sunfish is caught in the North Sea, or one is washed ashore. It is usually a small, young specimen weighing around 50 kilograms. Sunfish are found in all the seas around the world, however never in large numbers. They live off of young fish and zooplankton, with a preference for jellyfish. Sunfish have a relatively long life expectancy and keep growing the whole time. There have been reports of sunfish 4 meters long and 1500 kilograms.
