Schooling BARRACUDA - ©fleance Barracuda facts: The world record weight is 85 lbs. captured at Christmas Island, Republic of Kiribati, 1992. Barracudas can be found in huge schools of several thousand. The nature, timing, and location of spawning in the Great Barracudas has never been documented. Great Barracudas do not care for their young. Barracudas mature around two years of age. Humans have not derived a way to tell a male Barracuda from a female. Noone knows for sure how old Barracudas can live to be, but research shows that they can live to be fourteen years of age. Barracudas have two completely separate dorsal fins. Barracudas are generally hunted for gaming purposes. They do not make good eating fish.
