The northern sennet, ''Sphyraena borealis'', is an ocean-going species of fish in the barracuda family, or Sphyraenidae. It was described by the American zoologist James Ellsworth De Kay in 1842. De Kay's description was part of several volumes he published regarding the fauna on New York from 1842-1849.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Biographical Dictionary of Hypogean Fish Researchers ) 〕 Northern sennet are also known as northern barracuda.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Fishbase )〕 ==Description== Like other members of the Sphyraenidae family, northern sennet have elongated bodies, pike-like heads, and large jaws.〔 * 〕 The lower jaw protrudes slightly from the upper jaw, both of which contain fang-like teeth.〔 They have two dorsal fins, which are widely separated on their backs. The anterior dorsal fin usually possesses spines, while the posterior only has rays.〔 Northern sennet have 24 vertebrae. They also have five or six spines on their dorsal fins and 9 rays. Their anal fins have only two spines and 7-9 rays. Northern sennet can grow to be up to 46 cm in length,〔Robins, C.R. and G.C. Ray 1986 A field guide to Atlantic coast fishes of North America.
