The cobia is a streamlined, silvery-bronze predator found in warm coastal and offshore waters worldwide. It cruises alone or in small groups, often shadowing larger animals or structures in search of prey. Distinctive features include a flattened head, a lateral stripe running from gill to tail, and elongated dorsal and anal fins. Cobias are powerful hunters that feed on fish and crustaceans, and they are commonly encountered by divers around reefs, wrecks, and rocky outcrops.
