(gcide) | Barracuda \Bar`ra*cu"da\, Barracouta \Bar`ra*cou"ta\,, n.
[Native name.] (Zool.)
Any of several voracious pikelike marine fishes allied to the
gray mullets, constituting the genus Sphyr[ae]na and family
Sphyr[ae]nid[ae]. The great barracuda ({Sphyr[ae]na
barracuda}) of the West Indies, Florida, etc., is often six
feet or more long, and as dangerous as a shark. In Cuba its
flesh is reputed to be poisonous. Sphyr[ae]na Argentea of
the Pacific coast and Sphyr[ae]na sphyr[ae]na of Europe are
smaller species, and are used as food.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
Note: That of Europe and our Atlantic coast is {Sphyr[ae]na
spet} (or Sphyr[ae]na vulgaris); a southern species
is Sphyr[ae]na picuda; the Californian is
Sphyr[ae]na argentea.
[1913 Webster]
