The Great Barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) is a large and rather easily identifiable marine predator. It can grow to nearly 2 meters in length and inhabits most of the tropical and subtropical coastal waters of the world’s oceans and seas. They are excellent hunters with an aerodynamic body designed for quick bursts of speed and effective hunting. It is a popular species among anglers all over the world though it is not a tasty fish and has little culinary value.
