Bluntnose flyingfish is a western Atlantic marine fish of the coastal water column. Its range includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean and extends along the American coasts to roughly 40 degrees north and south.
FishBase describes the species as neritic, meaning associated with waters over the continental shelf, and pelagic rather than bottom-dwelling. This distinguishes its setting from that of fishes tied to a reef, seagrass bed or rocky substrate.
