    Anyone know what this is? Juvenile Barracuda?

    Anyone know what this is? Juvenile Barracuda?-002.jpg

    This was caught in the canyons off of Delaware last weekend and was wondering what is is as I have never seen these before.

    Anyone know what this is? Juvenile Barracuda?-001.jpg

    Could it be a juvenile Barracuda?

    Nope!

    That's a juvenile Lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox)...

    It's not a Snake Mackerel. A Snake Mackerel (Gempylus serpens) has finlets posterior to its dorsal and anal fins. That specimen has no finlets. It's a juvenile Longnose Lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox).


    Snake Mackerel...




    Lancetfish...
