Abstract

The current paper adds Intermediate flyingfish, Cheilopogon intermedius Parin, 1961 (Beloniformes: Exocoetidae), as a new record to the ichthyofaunal resource list of Odisha. The fish was caught by the fisherman off Paradip, Odisha, India. This forms the second record along east coast of India after it was recently reported from the West Bengal coast. The present study provides information on morphometric characters and meristic counts of the flyingfish.
