Does the barracuda live in the sunlight zone?

Answer 1

Yes, barracudas primarily inhabit the sunlight zone, also known as the epipelagic zone, which extends from the surface down to about 200 meters (656 feet). This zone is well-lit and supports a diverse range of marine life, making it an ideal habitat for barracudas as they are predatory fish that rely on visibility to hunt for prey. They are often found near coral reefs, inshore waters, and sometimes around islands.
