Most Pacific barracuda are mature by 2 years old. [8] Females at that age may produce approximately 50,000 eggs while older female Pacific Barracuda can produce from 200,000 to 400,000 eggs. [5] The Barracuda, like most other fish, exhibit external fertilization and lay their eggs in intervals. The parents are not known to care for their young.
Females can release about 5,000 to 30,000 eggs. The highest spawn rate occurs in July, August, and September then drops off in the months after especially in winter. [16] Studies conducted on Sphyraena Barracuda in Florida have found females reach sexual maturity as early as 1-2 years of age and 3-4 years in males. [14]

A female produces an ovum with a full set (two sets of genes) provided solely by the mother. Thus, a male is not needed to provide sperm to fertilize the egg. This form of asexual reproduction is thought in some cases to be a serious threat to biodiversity for the subsequent lack of gene variation and potentially decreased fitness of the offspring.
Reproduction occurs between May and August and the female can lay up to 300,000 eggs. [7] The copepod Bomolochus unicirrus is known to be an ectoparasite of S. sphyraena . [ 10 ]

Sperm storage organs in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.Female was first mated with GFP-male and then re-mated with RFP-male. Female sperm storage is a biological process and often a type of sexual selection in which sperm cells transferred to a female during mating are temporarily retained within a specific part of the reproductive tract before the oocyte, or egg, is fertilized.
