The first record of the eggs of black wing flyingfish Hirundichthys rondeletii (Valenciennes, 1846) in the Turkish nearshores of the Aegean Sea (Gümüldür)

Abstract

Flyingfish belong to the family Exocoetidae and are generally characterized by their pectoral fins that are high on the sides, strikingly long, and always extending beyond the dorsal fin. Pelvic fins are abdominal in position and greatly enlarged in many species, which are called fourwinged fish (Parin, 2002). Representatives of the family Exocoetidae are distributed in tropical and subtropical waters around the world (

Literature Review of Flying Fish: Biology, Distribution, Flying Fish Fisheries, and Current Research

“…Even though these fish can swim in deeper seas, they still attach their eggs to floating objects. This is thought to be due to the positive effect of warmer temperatures on the surface of the waters in the egg development phase (Uygun and Hossucu 2018) and protecting the eggs during the critical early life phase (Stevens et al 2003).…”

“…Flying fish have the ability to fly above the surface of the water and the fish eggs have high commercial value (Uygun and Hossucu 2018). The high commercial value of flying fish and as an important component in the food chain is an important reason for management for the sustainability of these fish resources.…”
