Abstract:
In the central western Atlantic, the four‐wing flyingfish supports commercially important pelagic fisheries in three geographically separate areas: the eastern Caribbean islands, the southern Netherlands Antilles and northeast Brazil. Tagging and genetic studies suggest that there is a distinct, single stock of four‐wing flyingfish (Hirundichthys affinis) within the eastern Caribbean area extending from Dominica to Trinidad and Tobago.
