  • Research on flyingfishes in 2004 was aimed to know their species diversity and length distribution. Two locations were selected as sampling sites such as Flores Sea and Sulawesi Sea. Samples were collected in Takalar from May to July 2004 represented samples from Flores Sea, and in Manado and Tahuna in November 2004 represented samples from Sulawesi Sea. All samples were caught by local fishermen who operated a gillnet. There were 7 species identified from Flores Sea, i.e. Cheilopogon abei, Cheilopogon spilonopterus, Cheilopogon spilopterus, Cheilopogon suttoni, Cypselurus poecilopterus, Hirundichthys oxycephalus and Parexocoetus mento, whereas from Sulawesi Sea, Cheilopogon cyanopterus and Cheilopogon spilopterus were identified. The average total length of C. spilopterus collected in May-July 2004 was longer than 200 mm and were no variation amongst months, while Cheilopogon spp. sampled from Sulawesi Sea was longer than 250 mm. The flyingfish samples were mostly in adult stage and had spawned.
