What's the difference between "It’s different from normal fish" and "Unlike those of normal fish"? It’s different from normal fish, the wing-like pectoral fins of a flying fish enable it to jump out of the water and sail through the air. Unlike those of normal fish, the wing-like pectoral fins of a flying fish enable it to jump out of the water and sail through the air. Both of sentences look like same in meaning, but I'm not sure

Think of these simpler sentences. 1. I woke up late yesterday, I woke up early today. 2. Unlike yesterday, I woke up early today. #1 is listing two full sentences separated by a comma. Connecting sentences like this without a conjunction or anything is not a good style. It sounds bad. #2 on the other hand has an adverbial phrase before comma which supports the main clause after it, which is common and natural. Your first sentence is like #1 above, two sentences separated by a comma. Only the second sentence is in good form.
