A marine fish of the Perciformes order, family Acanthidae (illustration). Its English name is silver kingfish due to its body color. Although it has the name of a barracuda, it is not a member of the barracuda family, but is more closely related to tuna and mackerel. In the waters off the coast of Japan, it inhabits relatively deep areas of the Pacific coast, such as Suruga Bay, Kumano Nada, Tosa Bay, and Okinawa, and is also found in the waters off the coast of Australia and New Zealand. Its body is laterally compressed and slightly elongated, bluish-gray with a silvery-white luster. The lateral line is divided into two below the base of the fifth spine of the first dorsal fin, and the lower one runs vertically down the side of the body to the caudal peduncle.
