The flying fish, Hirundichthys affinis , has great socioeconomic importance, constituting a source of food and income for fishing communities in Caicara do Norte, in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. The production of H. affinis is responsible for 41.9% of the local fishing, representing the main fishery resource of this municipality. Production data of the flying fish in the years 1993 to 2010 analyzed indicated that its production showed fluctuations impacting the total fishery production of Caicara do Norte. The production of H. affinis in Caicara do Norte in general was increasing over the period of 17 years. The number of fishing vessels is not related to the variation in production of H. affinis . The variation of the production of H. affinis could possibly be related to the environmental factors. It was observed that there was no relation between the production of the prey H. affinis and the predator dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus during the verified period .
