Chevron Barracuda

The chevron barracuda lives in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region and its distribution ranges from the Red Sea and East Africa to the central Indian Ocean and French Polynesia. The barracuda prefers depths of maximum 100 meters and is associated with coral reefs.
This fish has a maximum length of 170 centimeters, but its common length revolves around 80 centimeters. It has many dark bars that cross lateral lines on the blue-grey body, each bar being oblique in the upper half but nearly vertical in the lower.
These barracudas form large schools that frequent the same patch of reef for months or even years at a time but they disperse every night to hunt alone.
