‘A sunfish found by my partner along the Coorong a couple [of] nights ago… I thought it was fake,’

‘They thought it was wood as they were driving up,’

The pictures of the huge sunfish left everyone shocked. One wrote: ‘I really hope this was not as a result of Seismic Blasting and or noise from ships, or plastic in their body.’

So many sunfish are getting washed up on the beach and Fish collection manager Ralph Foster, from the South Australian Museum, explains why it is happening:

‘One of the big dangers would be hit by big boats at sea. They often eat plastic bags thinking they are jellyfish which can kill them.’

‘They are actually quite common in Australian waters but they are generally further out to sea.’
