Opah or moonfish (Lampris regius) is one of the most colorful deep ocean fish. This Opah was painted using a reference collection of photos of freshly caught fish.The moonfish's large, round profile may be the origin of its name. A pelagic wandering species, it is often found in the company of tunas and billfish. Opah are not found in schools, and thus are not caught in any quantity. However, individual fish are regularly hooked by longline boats fishing over seamounts.
