List of fish common names

This is a list of common names of fish. While some common names refer to a single species, others may be used for an entire group of species, such as a genus or family, and still others have been used confusingly for multiple unrelated species or groups; the articles listed here should attempt to list the possible meanings if the common name is ambiguous. Scientific names for individual species and higher taxa are included in parentheses.
