Abstract

Like other flying fish, oceanic two-wing flying fish use their large pectoral, or side, fins as wings. They swim very quickly through the water to give themselves enough speed to lift onto the wind. Once out of the water, they glide on the wind. Oceanic two-wing flying fish never flap their fins as wings, they only glide.
