Distribution: Previously thought to be restricted to the South Pacific ( Fraser-Brunner, 1951), however if Mola sp. A is shown to belong to M. ramsayi , the distribution is much wider than previously thought, including the Pacific and Indian oceans in both hemispheres, as well as the Mediterranean and probably also the European seas.
