Born to swim, he will be able to fly. So you can paraphrase a well-known proverb, because some fish actually manage not only to swim in the water, but also to fly through the air. The scientific name for these sea creatures is Exocoetidae, but in the world - just Flying fish … The best shots of flights are in the selection of photographs.
The body of the flying fish resembles a torpedo, their streamlined shape helps to develop high speed under water. This is enough for the fish to literally "soar" over the sea surface, spreading its fins-wings. As a rule, in one flight the fish manage to overcome about 50 meters, but it happens that even all 200 meters. By the way, in some flying fish the pelvic and pectoral fins have expanded over time, which led to their greater maneuverability. Such fish are called four-winged.
To fly over water, a fish needs to actively work with its tail, it has to make up to 70 movements per second. It is believed that the impetus for the evolution of these fish was the need to protect themselves from predators, since such sliding provides the fish with relative safety. Unfortunately, so far nothing can protect flying fish from humans.
Flying fish are considered commercial in Japan, Vietnam and China. In Japanese cuisine, fish is used to make sushi. As a main dish, fish is present in the diet of the people of Taiwan. Unfortunately, these miracle fish were endangered in Barbados due to overfishing and pollution of water bodies.
These beauties-fish are so good and unusual that it remains only to admit once again how many still unsolved secrets are hidden for us by nature.
