Yes, sunfish, particularly the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), are known to undertake seasonal migrations. They typically move to deeper waters during the summer months in search of cooler temperatures and abundant food sources like jellyfish. These migrations can also be influenced by ocean currents and water temperature changes. However, their migratory patterns are not as well-defined as those of some other marine species.
During the summer, sunfish typically move to warmer, shallower coastal waters where they can bask in the sun and raise their body temperature. They often gather near the surface to soak up sunlight and can be found near floating debris or in areas with abundant jellyfish, their primary food source. Additionally, some sunfish may migrate to deeper waters depending on their feeding patterns and environmental conditions.
