  1. The gold standard of the genre; often imitated, never equaled. The largehead hairtail ( Trichiurus lepturus ) or beltfish is part of the cutlassfish family.

  2. Largehead hairtail, that's the name of this species. Found in tropical and temperate oceans worldwide and tend to live deep underwater, where they generally "stand" in the water by swimming vertically. This allows them to ambush other fish from below. There's still an abundance of these fish, making them popular as food.
