They're called "tobiuo"
they have fins and can glide around 70feet.

they only "fly" when the "maguro" or tuna start chasing them, then they go topwater to escape from the tuna or any other fish from below.
but the sad thing is, while they're gliding, they can get eaten by seabirds

I used to eat flying fish all the time in Barbados
