Barracuda (Sphyraenidae)

Barracuda are a group of predatory fish that are found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the world. They are part of the family Sphyraenidae, which includes several species of fish that are known for their long, slender bodies, sharp teeth, and powerful jaws.

Barracuda are typically medium to large-sized fish, reaching a maximum length of about 2 meters (6.5 feet). They have a long, slender body with a pointed head and a large mouth filled with sharp teeth. Their body is typically silver, gray, or green in color, with dark vertical stripes running down their sides.

Barracuda are voracious predators that feed on a wide variety of smaller fish and invertebrates. They are generally non-aggressive towards humans, but they can deliver a painful bite if they are handled or if they feel threatened. They are popular among sport fishermen due to their powerful fighting ability.
