Habitat Barracuda are a migratory fish that prefers the warmer waters of the tropics although a variety exists off the Victorian and South Australian coast. They can be found along rocky headlands, inshore reefs, wrecks, estuaries, creeks, beaches and jetty pylons with an attraction to weed beds. They prefer areas such as large sand flats, shallow rock, shallow reef or dry sandbanks, with adjacent weed bed areas which they use to bottle up and concentrate baitfish populations. The smaller to medium sized fish form into minor schools whereas the larger fish greater than 15kg. or so are loners.

Qualities Migratory fish with great speed and aggression. They fight cleanly in open waters.
