Flying fish can be seen jumping out of warm ocean waters worldwide. 

Their streamlined torpedo shapes help them gather enough underwater speed to break the surface and their large, wing-like pectoral fins get them airborne. 

Flying fish are thought to have evolved this remarkable gliding ability to escape from predators, of which they have many. 

Their pursuers include mackerel, tuna, swordfish, marlin and other larger fish. For their sustenance, flying fish feed on a variety of foods, including plankton. 

There are about 40 known species of flying fish. Beyond their useful pectoral fins, all have unevenly forked tails, with the lower lobe longer than the upper lobe. 

Many species have enlarged pelvic fins as well and are known as four-winged flying fish. 

The process of taking flight, or gliding, begins by gaining great velocity underwater, about 60 kilometers per hour. 

Angling upward, the four-winged flying fish breaks the surface and begins to taxi by rapidly beating its tail while it is still beneath the surface. 

It then takes to the air, occasionally reaching heights over 1.2 meters and gliding long distances, up to 200 meters. 

Once it nears the surface again, it can flap its tail and taxi without fully returning to the water. 

Capable of continuing its flight in such a manner, flying fish have been recorded stretching out their flights with consecutive glides spanning distances up to 400 meters. 

Flying fish are attracted to light, like a number of sea creatures, and fishermen take advantages of this substantial results. 

Canoes, filled with enough water to sustain fish, but not enough to allow them to propel themselves out, are affixed with a luring light at night to capture flying fish by the dozens. There is currently no protection status on these animals.
