noun
zoology
A large, elongated fish that lives in warm coastal and offshore waters and is prized as a food and game fish.
cobia belongs to its own family, Rachycentridae, and is often mistaken at a glance for a shark because of its flattened head and dark lateral stripe. It can grow more than a metre long and is found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas, frequently following larger animals such as rays and turtles. Because its flesh is firm and mild, cobia has become popular both with sport anglers and in aquaculture.
