Flying Fish occur in warm tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Flying fish don't actually fly, but instead glide above the ocean surfaces, remaining aloft with an occasional a quick dip of their moving tail into the top of a wave–using their large pectoral fins which resemble wings. Flying fish can glide distances of several hundred feet at a time. Flying fish are a major part of the diet of various offshore species including sailfish, marlin, dolphin/dorado, tuna, wahoo, kingfish, swordfish and many others.
