the fish i am going to identify now is thegreat barracuda. great barracuda are one of the most common fish found in tropical watersaround the u.s. and the caribbean. in fact great barracuda can be found as far northas massachusetts. it's hard to confuse the great barracuda with any other fish due totheir distinctive look. they have a long cylindrical body built for short bursts of speed. theyare a shinny silver in color, but most also have black markings all over their bodies.they will also get much darker when on a cleaning station. another distinguishing characteristicof the great barracuda is its impressive dental work. its lower jaw is slightly longer thanits, the upper and both are lined with many pointed canine type teeth. great barracudalook ferocious because they usually have their
mouths slightly open revealing those scarylooking teeth. in reality, however, they are fairly shy and will move away if approached.but i've found that they also have a well defined sense of personal space so that ifyou approach one very slowly, once you hit their personal space comfort zone, which isusually between one and three feet, they will begin to slowly move away at the same rateat which you are moving toward them. great barracuda adults are usually solitary animals,although younger ones may travel in small groups. great barracuda can often be foundhanging out in the shade of a dive or snorkel boat. that's the great barracuda.
