Scombriformes is an order of bony fish containing nine families which were classified under the suborders Scombroidei and Stromateoidei, of the wider grouping known as Perciformes,[1] Fishes of the World, 5th ed. (2016), recognised the order[2] but subsequent workers have suggested that Scombriformes forms part of the larger Pelagiaria clade.[3]

Families[]

The families placed under Scombriformes in Nelson 2016 are:[2]

  • Order Scombriformes
    • Suborder Scombroidei
      • Family Gempylidae (snake mackerels)
      • Family Trichiuridae (cutlassfishes)
        • Subfamily
        • Subfamily
        • Subfamily
      • Family Scombridae (mackerels and tunas)
    • Suborder Stromateoidei
      • Family Amarsipidae (the amarsipa)
      • Family Centrolophidae (medusafishes)
      • Family Nomeidae (driftfishes)
      • Family Ariommatidae (ariommatids)
      • Family Tetragonuridae (squaretails)
      • Family Stromateidae (butterfishes)

In Betancur-R et al., 2017,[3] the following additional families are placed under Scombriformes, which is considered synonymous with the Pelagiaria clade.

  • Family Arripidae (Australasian salmon (kahawai))
  • Family Bramidae (pomfrets)
  • Family Caristiidae (manefishes)
  • Family Chiasmodontidae (swallowers)
  • Family Icosteidae (the ragfish)
  • Family Pomatomidae (the bluefish)
  • Family Scombrolabracidae (the longfin escolar)
  • Family Scombropidae (gnomefishes)
