Does a sunfish live in fresh water?

Answer 1

Sunfish, specifically the Mola mola or ocean sunfish, are primarily marine fish and are typically found in saltwater environments. However, there are freshwater species of sunfish, such as those in the family Centrarchidae, including bluegill and pumpkinseed, which inhabit lakes, rivers, and ponds. These freshwater sunfish thrive in various aquatic habitats, making them distinct from their oceanic relatives.
