The advice you were given on barracuda is quite different from what I
was told. The mnemonic I was told is, "If it's shorter than your arm,
it'll do you no harm."

I used to go swimming in the Atlantic at the Isle of Palms, SC. The
northern limit of their range Never saw one, but I did step on a
conch. Startling, to say the least. We caught a fist sized scallop and
a starfish, which ate it.
