There have been 108 Mola mola strandings on Cape Cod this year, according to Carol “Krill” Carlson, whale biologist and part-time visiting lecturer at Bridgewater State University. Strandings of the giant fish have been increasing since Carlson and her New England Coastal Wildlife Association began keeping records in 2005.
