We report a bump-head sunfish Mola alexandrini (120-130 cm estimated total length) photographed from a manned submersible at a depth of 220 m off Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, in May 2004. Mola alexandrini is often misidentified as the ocean sunfish Mola mola. This individual represented three records for this species: first record by a manned submersible, second record from the mesopelagic zone in the north-west Pacific Ocean and a new distributional record from Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
我们报告了一起在 2004 年 5 月于日本鹿儿岛县外海 220 米深处，使用载人潜水器拍摄到 bump-head 翻车鱼 Mola alexandrini（估计总长 120-130 厘米）的事件。Mola alexandrini 经常被误认为是翻车鱼 Mola mola。这一标本代表了该物种的三个记录：第一次通过载人潜水器记录，第二次来自西北太平洋的中层带，以及在日本鹿儿岛县的一个新分布记录。
