A deep-sea fish of the family Paralepididae, smaller than barracudas but similar in appearance and predatory behavior.
From barracuda + -ina (diminutive suffix), coined in scientific nomenclature to describe smaller relatives of barracudas discovered in deep ocean research.
Barracudinas live so deep in the ocean that humans rarely see them alive—they were discovered through net samples from scientific expeditions, making them among the less-known deep-sea predators.
