Arctozenus risso, the Spotted barracudina or Ribbon barracudina, is a species of barracudina found in oceans worldwide in the meso- and bathypelagic zone down to abound 2,200 metres (7,200 ft). This species grows to a length of 30 centimetres (12 in) SL. This species is the only known member of its genus. It is an important forage species for many pelagic predators, such as cephalopods, common dolphins, and albacore.[1][2][3]
