The Atlantic and Pacific populations are also known as Atlantic cutlassfish and Pacific cutlassfish, respectively. Largehead hairtails can grow to over 2 m in length. They live in shallow coastal waters, rising to eat planktonic crustaceans during the day and returning to the sea bed at night. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry.
