Parexocoetus mento; also known as the African sailfin flying fish, Cuvier's flying fish, the yellow belly flying fish or the short-winged flying fish; is a species of flying fish from the family Exocoetidae which is found in the Indo-pacific region from the coast of East Africa and the Red Sea to Fiji, extending south to Queensland and the Mozambique Channel and north to southern Japan.[1] This species has colonised the Mediterraean Sea through the Suez Canal and by 1966 it had reached as far west as the Gulf of Sidra, it was one of the earliest and more widespread of the Lessepsian migrants.[2] Its Mediterranean distribution extends as far north as Albania and it is now common off Israel and Lebanon.[3] It is found in coastal waters close to the surface and it is rarely recorded in open sea. These fishes can jump out of the water and glide over the water.[1] Parexocoetus mento is the type species of the genus Parexocoetus which was erected by Pieter Bleeker in 1865,[4] this species was originally described as Exocoetus mento by Achille Valenciennes in 1847 with the type locality given as Puducherry, India.[5]
