Exocoetus peruvianus

Exocoetus peruvianus, commonly known as the Peruvian flyingfish, is a species of ray-finned fish endemic to the tropical southeast Pacific Ocean in the waters off Peru and Ecuador.

Like most flying fish, E. peruivanus exhibits countershading with the body colored iridescent blue from above and silvery white from below.

At this length and smaller, the pectoral fins are largely transparent with light gray pigmentation in the anterior and posterior parts.

Juveniles greater than 57 mm in length are covered with pigment with the exception of the posterior and lower edges.

It is only found in a small area of the southeastern Pacific Ocean between the Southern Tropic and the equator.
