| Comments: | Great Barracuda feeds chiefly on fishes and occasionally on squids and shrimps. Smaller individuals frequently occur in schools, whereas larger fish are usually solitary. Although the danger is probably exaggerated, this barracuda has been known to attack people. Its large, blade-like teeth are capable of cutting great lumps of flesh, and divers should be cautious. This species may cause ciguatera poisoning. |
