A small family with sharp teeth. Ambush hunters that may be solitary or
schooling, feeding upon fishes day or night. They have spindle-shaped
bodies with two widely separated dorsal fins. They are capable of rapid
acceleration yet are normally seen nearly motionless as they wait for prey to
pass by. Despite their ferocious reputation the Great Barracuda does not
seek humans as food. Attacks are generally cases of mistaken identity;
avoid wearing shiny metallic objects while swimming. |
