Lampris guttatus (Brunnich, 1788) "opah" have been recorded in the Gulf of Arauco (Chile) after the captures of two specimens (August 1991 and September 2001). The first specimen weighed 73 kg with a total length of 1360 mm, the second, 70 kg and 1290 mm. The largest and heaviest specimen is deposited in the ictiological collection of the Zoological Museum of the University of Concepcion (MZUC/UCCC). The analysis of the stomach content revealed the presence of digested fishes, molluscs and crustaceans. Its relatively short intestine confirms its carnivorous diet.
