It became the heaviest bony fish ever documented, breaking the record set in 1996 by a sunfish of the same species, Mola alexandrini. That one was&amp;#160;discovered in Japanese waters, according to the research paper,&amp;#160;and weighed about 2.5 tons.&amp;#160; There are two types of fish, cartilaginous and bony.

Bony fish account for the majority of fish, according to Gomes-Pereira&amp;#160;— think carp, salmon and bass. Cartilaginous fish have skeletons made of cartilage and encompass species like sharks and stingrays.&amp;#160; While the sunfish found in Portugal&amp;#160;is the heaviest bony fish ever discovered it is far from the heaviest ocean creature.&amp;#160; Whale sharks, which are cartilaginous, weigh about 11 tons, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
