What is the world's largest type of predatory fish?

The world's largest predatory fish is the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias). Great white sharks are found in all major oceans, and can grow up to 20 feet in length and weigh over 5,000 pounds. They are known for their distinctive white underbellies and powerful jaws filled with rows of sharp teeth, which they use to catch their prey.

Great white sharks are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain in their ecosystems. They primarily feed on marine mammals such as seals and sea lions, but have been known to also prey on fish and seabirds. Despite their ferocious reputation, great white sharks are not a significant threat to humans, with only a handful of fatal attacks occurring each year worldwide.
