What are the stages of a flying fish?

Flying fish undergo several stages in their life cycle, which includes egg, larva, juvenile, and adult stages. The eggs are laid in the ocean, where they hatch into larvae, which are small, transparent, and planktonic. As they mature into juveniles, they begin to develop their characteristic elongated fins. Finally, in the adult stage, flying fish can glide above the water's surface using their large pectoral fins, which aid in escaping predators.
