(Linnaeus, 1758)

When excited, the fish spreads its "wings", which are semi-transparent, with a phosphorescent bright blue coloration at their tips. These are designed to scare away predators, but they don't enable the fish to glide in the air as do the fins of flying fish. The fish also has large eyes. It reaches up to 50 सेमी (20 इंच) in length and 1.8 किग्रा (4.0 पाउंड) in weight.[2]
