Parexocoetus brachypterus
Description
Parexocoetus brachypterus (Richardson, 1846).
Sailfin Flyingfish. To 22.8 cm (9 in) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Indo-Pacific (Parin et al. 2019); western Pacific Ocean north to southern Japan (Aizawa in Nakabo 2002); southern Baja California (23°12’N, 110°28’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to at least Ecuador (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Depth; at least at surface. While Fricke et al. (2020) imply this species is not in eastern Pacific, that is in error.
