Feed on pelagic crustaceans (Euphausia, Nyctiphanes), cephalopods and fishes (Ref. 6181) like anchovy and pilchard (Ref. 36731). Form schools near the bottom or midwater; sometimes even at the surface at night (Ref. 6181). Prefers temperature between 13° and 18°C (Ref. 36731). Marketed fresh, smoked, canned and frozen; eaten fried, broiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988). Good for fish and chips or smoking; also made into fillet or fish cake in Japan (Ref. 6181). Commonly called as Baracoutta and because it is a fast predator, several English vessels were named after it. In the UK during WW II, this canned fish was commonly eaten that many older people have an aversion to it (D. Parkyn, pers. comm. 05/2022). Nakamura, I. and N.V. Parin 1993 FAO Species Catalogue.

Schools are most common in surface waters of the continental shelf in 13°C and 18°C. (Ref. 6390).In Australia and New Zealand, juveniles inhabit sheltered waters of southern bays and estuaries (Ref. 26998, 27128).The migration patterns in Australian barracouta are complex. Some stocks undertake annual migrations lasting 6-9 months that cover several hundred kilometers (Ref. 28893). The migrations appear to be related to water temperature or food availability, or a combination of both factors (Ref. 6390). Barracouta also move through the water column from depths of 200 m to the surface, where they are usually caught at dawn and at dusk (Ref. 28893).
