Scombriformes, also known as Pelagia and Pelagiaria, is an order of ray-finned fish within the clade Percomorpha. [1] [2] [3] It contains 287 extant species in 16 families, most of which were previously classified under the suborders Scombroidei and Stromateoidei of the order Perciformes.
Carangiformes is a large, diverse order of ray-finned fishes within the clade Percomorpha.It is part of a sister clade to the Ovalentaria, alongside its sister group, the Anabantaria (including Anabantiformes and Synbranchiformes).
Trachiniformes is an order of percomorph bony fish, [1] whose contents are traditionally placed in suborder Trachinoidei of Perciformes. [2]However, Trachiniformes is recovered as polyphyletic in recent large scale molecular phylogenetic studies.
The Neoteleostei is a large clade of bony fish mostly consisting of marine clades. Only three lineages have freshwater species: Percopsiformes (Troutperches), which lives exclusively in freshwater, [1] Gadiformes (cods), which is largely marine except from burbot that live in freshwater and a few populations of cod in brackish water, [2] [3] and the Percomorpha, which in addition to several ...
