The three papers are about the body shape and fins shape that allow the Exocoetidae to glide through the air. In the article “Wing-loading, stability and morphometric relationships in flying fish (Exocoetidae) from the North-eastern Atlantic” written by J. Dasilao et al talk about how the shape of the body the and the use of the tail help will fly. They use Parexocoeus mento mento as the main subject in the study. In the study, they learn that different Exocoetidae species have different growth rate. Parexocoeus mento mento which is known as two-winged achieved by swimming fast just below the water surface before going upward. The P. mento mento may be the smallest and worst at flying it have adapted to be ability to fly well. This showed how the head is narrow than the other species of Exocoetidae. In the article, “Wing-loading, stability and morphometric relationships in flying fish (Exocoetidae) from the North-eastern Atlantic” by John Davenport talk about how four-winged flying fish growth in different size than two-winged ones. The study goes into details on how the pectoral fins must not be greater than 78-79% of the standard length or it will affect the swimming ability. The study show that Exocoetidae with both pectoral and pelvic fins are hypertrophied need more body sizes to stable themselves during flight. The wing load is also affect by the speed the fish is going with the faster it is the more the load. The centre of gravity is important part of the ability the let Exocoetidae to fly. The position of the fins and shape of the fish play a part in it. In the study, Davenport found that the main reason Oxyporhamphus micropterus is not able to fly is because the
