Abstract
On 14th June 2024, an ocean sharptail mola (Masturus lanceolatus) was landed at Kollam Fisheries Harbour. The fish was entangled in 40 mm gillnet operated from a motorized fibre boat fitted with a 20 hp engine, at a depth of approximately 40 meters. The specimen had an approximate total weight of 40 kg and total length 85 cm. It was grey in colour and similar in appearance to the ocean sunfish (Mola mola) but could be differentiated by the projection on its clavus (pseudo-tail). Other common names for this fish include Sharpfin mola fish and Point-tailed mola fish.
