Flying fish: Real fish, but not really flying Sarah Wild © Provided by Live Science The Australasian flying fish, Cheilopogon pinnatibarbatus melanocercus, gliding over the water. In warm ocean waters around the world, you may see a strange sight: A fish leaping from the water and soaring dozens of meters before returning to the ocean s depths. Early Mediterranean sailors thought these flying fish returned to the shore at night to sleep, and therefore called this family of marine fish Exocoetidae (in Latin, ex- means out of and koitos means bed), according to Steve N.G. Howell s book The Amazing World of Flyingfish (Princeton University Press, 2014).
