John Dory — size comparison — facts and sources

The John Dory has a deep, strongly flattened body with a large dark flank spot. Long fin spines project above its back. It lives above seabeds in the eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean, Indian Ocean and western Pacific.

It eats chiefly schooling fish, supplemented by cephalopods and crustaceans. During a strike it protrudes its large mouth, abruptly reducing the distance to prey. Lateral flattening makes its outline very narrow from the front.
