The head is slightly flattened and conceals a hard plate between the eyes and dorsal fin. The dorsal and pectoral fins each are supported by a sharp, slime-covered, barbed spine. [9] The dorsal spine is normally erect when the fish is excited and a tennis shoe or even a leather-soled shoe offers little protection.

Barracuda species are often seen competing against mackerel, needle fish and sometimes even dolphins for prey. [3] Barracudas are usually found swimming in saltwater searching for schools of plankton-feeding fish. Their silver and elongated bodies make them difficult for prey to detect, especially when viewed head-on.
They press against each other until one is able to bite the other's head. [10] This allows them to determine which is the larger fish, which establishes dominance.
