Is barracuda a freshwater fish or a marine fish?
Barracuda Ling Kai is a kind of marine fish, but actually Barracuda is a kind of fish that can live in both fresh water and seawater.

Barracuda is a common economic edible fish in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. It mainly lives at the intersection of salty and fresh water in Haikou, and feeds on microorganisms in sediment. In spring, they lay eggs near the estuary in March and April. Young fish often go upstream with the tide in the estuary. In winter, they like to sneak into deep water to sleep in groups. When the ice just melts next spring, they will move early and swim to the estuary in droves to feed.

Although small, its strength is extraordinary. In fact, barracuda can grow to more than 1 m and weigh about 10 kg, but it is very rare.
