Once in the air, these fishes can glide over considerable distances.
These fishes are known as four-winged flying fish.
It then spreads its pectoral fins and tilts them slightly upward to provide lift.
The curved profile of the “wing” is comparable to the aerodynamic shape of a bird wing.
The fish is known to take advantage of updrafts created by air currents to increase its time of flight.
Their pursuers include mackerel, tuna, swordfish, marlin, and other larger fish.
Unfortunately, this evasive maneuver is not enough to escape the biggest predator on earth humans.
In Japanese cuisine, the fish is used to make some types of sushi.
It is also a staple in the diet of the Tao people of Taiwan.
This sparked a fishing controversy between Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago.
