Abstract
Thelargest(upto2tons)andaglobally distributedteleost—theoceansunfish Molamola—iscommonly regardedasa

However,directinformationregardingtheirlocomotorperformanceundernaturalconditionsisstilllacking.Byusingmulti-

which is similar to the records of other large fishes such as salmons, marlins, and pelagic sharks. The acceleration data

lack a swimbladder, we found that they are neutrally buoyant independent of depth because of their subcutaneous
gelatinous tissue that has low density and is incompressible. Efficient lift-based swimming in conjunction with neutral
