尖頭細身飛魚 (Hirundichthys oxycephalus) 為台灣東北部飛魚卵漁業主要漁獲對象，亦為台灣東部海域飛魚優勢種之一。近年來由於飛魚產量持續下降，使人們逐漸意識到資源可能已達過漁之狀態，為有效漁業管理及資源永續利用，有必要進行其管理程序必須了解之年齡與成長研究。本研究採樣分為採集受精卵進行人工孵化飼育及採集野外魚體樣本分析年齡兩部分，首先自基隆嶼海域採集尖頭細身飛魚之受精卵約200克進行飼育，共計飼養天數達208日；採集其中108尾體長 (FL) 介於5.4~78.6 mm之樣本進行分析，證實飛魚三對耳石 (扁平石、星狀石及礫石) 成長輪之形成皆具日週性，其中扁平石及礫石皆在孵化後第1天形成首輪，星狀石則在孵化後第11天形成首輪，並依據迴歸係數、標準誤、最大可判讀年齡、判讀率及製備方法選定星狀石做為本研究之年齡判讀依據。
　　此外在2009年4月至2010年3月間，於花蓮、台東、綠島及蘭嶼海域以流刺網捕獲野外飛魚183尾體長 (FL) 介於54.0~229.1 mm之樣本。依據人工飼育試驗之結果，日齡相當於星狀石所判讀之日輪加11天。以此日齡與相對應之體長，利用電腦套適求得范式成長參數之極限體長為253.9 mm及成長速率為0.00753 mm d-1。以耳石上判讀的日週輪結果得以反推產卵日，並扣除孵化所需的三日即可推估產卵日期，並由產卵日頻度圖中發現台灣東部海域之尖頭細身飛魚可能有夏季(5月上旬至8月上旬) 及冬季 (11月下旬至隔年1月下旬) 兩個加入群。
本研究結果顯示尖頭細身飛魚應屬壽命短、成長快速之魚種，因此在漁業管理上，只要降低漁獲壓力，給予適當留存量，資源應能快速恢復。又研究所發現之兩個加入群，代表台灣東部可能為單一系群，也可能為兩個系群，在漁業管理手法上將有相當不同的差異，因此建議進一步透過生殖生物學研究予以確認。

　Bony flyingfish (Hirundichthys oxycephalus) is the primary component of flyingfish-egg fishery captures in the northeastern waters of Taiwan, and is also one of the dominant species of flyingfish in eastern waters of Taiwan. In recent years, people are conscious of overfishing in negarding to the continuously decreasing flyingfish resources. For rational management and sustainability of the fishery, there is an urgent need to study age and growth of the fish. Based on the laboratory-reared fish from the fertilized eggs collected in the wild, the daily periodicity of growth increments in three pairs of otoliths (lapillus, sagitta and asteriscus) was validated. First growth increment formed in the first day after hatching for sagitta and lupillus, and was in the eleven day after hatching for Asteriscus.
　　Ages of the wild flyingfish sample of 5.4~229.1 mm FL collected by drifted gillnets in Hualian, Taitung, Lyudao and Lanyu waters during April 2009 to March 2010, were determined by daily growth increment (DGI) counting in asteriscus, as adjusted by an addition of 11 DGIs. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters of the fish were estimated to be 253.9 mm in asymptotic length and 0.00753 mm d-1 in growth coefficient. Use DGIs estimation hatch date from otolith ringing, and estimated spawning date by deduct from 3 day hatch requisition. we found 2 recruitment group in eastern Taiwan within a year, most fish hatched either in summer or winter.
In this study showing that bony flyingfish was an grew fast and had long longevity sp., therefore, on fishery management, we should decrease the fishing pressure and give them enough surplus biomass, so the biomass could recover rapidly. And we found two recruitment group, one could behalf of stock from east taiwan, and maybe it could behalf of two stocks ,on the other hand the method of fishery management should be a quite different .We suggest to confirm by the further reproductive biology research.
