Are you wondering why this fish is flying in the sky?. It is moving like a jet torpedo. This fish is actually gliding through the surface of sea water like a maniac. A short gliding flights through the air makes this fish appears as flying.
When this happens, its tail moves around 70 times per second. And it can gain a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour. Most of the fisherman’s are capturing this flying fish. That’s not because of the cleverness of fisherman, that’s because it is not hiding anywhere and it likes the light and the sun. Fisherman’s capturing flying fish in the absence of light. Usually, a night they are carrying a light torch and flashes in the sea. I already mentioned that flying fish loves the light. The flying fish getting attracted to the light and fisherman’s capturing it with the fishing tools.The large eyes of flying fish make it able to clearly see where the light coming from. The large force acting on a short time makes this flying fish to jump to more than 4 feet and glide long distances.
When we are swimming, we keep our hands close to the body to gain high speed.Just like that the flying fish keep their fins remain close to the bodywhen it’s move. That’s why this fish is gaining a high underwater speed.
Flying fish is the national fish of Barbados. Due to this fish’s popularity in recent years, three ships of US Navy named USS flying fish to honor this fish. In Japan, this fish is using to prepare the tobiko sushi. It is the one of the favorite sushi in Japan with bright orange color. One of the interesting facts is flying fish was used to develop airplane in 1900’s to 1930’s. That means the flying fish do its part in the revolutionary history of airplane developing. The largest record of flying fish was in the air for 45 seconds. Some of the natural predators of flying fishes are Birds, tuna, and dolphins. Flying fish are the consumers of plankton. Currently, there is no protection status on this amazing creature on the sea.
