Mediterranean barracudas (Sphyraena sphyraena) are formidable predators found in the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The diet of the Mediterranean barracuda primarily consists of smaller fish, such as mullets, sardines, and anchovies. They are opportunistic hunters, relying on their keen eyesight and explosive speed to ambush prey. Barracudas often hunt in schools, using coordinated movements to herd and corner their targets before launching a swift attack. These top predators play a significant role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems by controlling the population of smaller fish species.
