What kind of fish is a Mola?

Molas, also known as Molas, Mambo, and cephalosperms, are the general names of three kinds of oceanic fishes of the family Molidae, which are Molas, Marines and Molas, which live in tropical and subtropical oceans. They are also found in temperate or cold oceans. They are produced along the coast of China. Let's take a look at what the Molas are.

What kind of fish is a Mola?

Fugu rollover is a large oceanic fish with a maximum body length of 3.0 to 5.5 meters and a weight of 1400 to 3500 kilograms. Swimming alone or in pairs, sometimes more than ten tails in groups, small individual fish are more active, often jump out of the water, large individual fish move slowly, often lying on the side of the water, or dorsal fins out of the water, can also dive into more than 100 meters of deep water, feed on algae, molluscs, jellyfish, planktonic crustaceans and small fish. Molas have the largest number of eggs among fish, with a large number of eggs, up to 300 million. The young fish are covered with verrucous spinous process, which gradually disappears with age, and the body becomes oval.

Why are Molas called Molas?

The mambo fish was originally called a Mola in Taiwan. Fishermen often saw it lying on the surface of the water as if it were sunbathing and described it as a "rollover". When the weather is good, Molas will put their dorsal fins out of the water to float their sails and bask in the sun to raise their body temperature. When the weather becomes bad, the side body will float flat on the water, paddle and control the direction with the dorsal and anal fins, and you can use the dorsal fins to somersault in the sea and dive into the sea floor.

Why aren't Molas extinct?

Molas are clumsy and not good at swimming, and are often eaten by other fish and sea animals in the ocean. The reason why it is not extinct is that it has strong fecundity. a female can lay about 25 million to 300 million eggs at a time, but only about 30 can survive until the breeding season. Whenever the reproductive season comes, males choose an ideal site at the bottom of the sea and dig up the sand with their pectoral fins and tails to build a concave "spawning bed" to lure females into the "spawning bed" to spawn. After the female has laid her eggs, she goes away. At this time, the male fish hurriedly ejaculate on the eggs and take on the responsibility of protecting the eggs and raising the children until the young fish grow up.

Is it true how the Molas died?

The scientific community has not reported that the Molas died of "excessive tension" and "hitting too much", and Molas are a kind of fish with a long life, and it takes at least 20 years to grow to 3 meters long. so regardless of whether the Molas can feel "emotional tension" and "blow too much", for this long-lived fish, a certain degree of "psychological endurance" should be possessed. As for the problem of "bubbles in the eyes", the Molas' eyes are completely exposed to the water while diving, one eye may be completely exposed to the air when sunbathing, and the Molas do not have eyelids and there is no room for bubbles. As for the real cause of death of Molas, it may still have something to do with humans.
