How does a barracuda raise its young?

barracudas reproduce when ocean waters begin to warm, by swimming into shallow waters to mate. they will all gather in an area to release eggs and sperm and the fertilized eggs will be taken away on the currents to drift. When the fry or baby fish hatch out of the eggs, they'll find shelter in weedy coastal areas. After they are big enough to defend themselves, the young barracudas venture out into the open water areas surrounding coral reefs
