- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Sphyraena
- Average Weight: 100 - 105 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: The Barracuda can be found worldwide in near shore tropical and subtropical seas. The great barracuda is common in the western Atlantic Ocean from Massachusetts up north to Brazil down south. The Barracuda can also be found in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea as well as the eastern Atlantic Ocean, Indo-Pacific, and the Red Sea. It is rare or absent in areas of the eastern Pacific Ocean.
- Biology: a slender, streamlined body that is round in the mid-section with the top of the head between the eyes nearly flat. The mouth is large, containing loads of large sharp teeth and a projecting lower jaw. The pectoral fin tips extend to the origin of the pelvic fins. The spinous and soft dorsal fins are widely separated and the double emarginated tail fin exhibits pale tips on each lobe.
- Physical Description: When juvenile, the great barracuda exhibits a green/brown color to blend in with the shallow grassy waters, but when the barracuda matures it exhibits a grey/silvery color to blend in with the shimmery open ocean habitat. They use different coloring patterns to camouflage themselves for protection and to enhance predation. Once a great barracuda reaches adulthood it no longer grows in length anymore but will continue to grow in width. The adult barracuda has a pointed head with large, teeth revealing mouth attached to a long, lean body. They also have dark spots on the side of their bellies along with a few faded white striped markings. It is also nearly impossible to tell a female and male great barracuda species apart.
