Perspective
The following classification is based on Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes:[1]
- Suborder Percoidei
- Family Serranidae Swainson, 1839 (sea basses)
- Family Anthiadidae Poey, 1861 (fairy basslets or streamer basses)
- Family Epinephelidae Bleeker, 1874 (groupers)
- Family Liopropomatidae Poey, 1867 (painted basslets)
- Family Grammistidae Bleeker, 1857 (soapfishes)
- Family Percidae Rafinesque, 1815 (perches and darters)
- Family Niphonidae Jordan, 1923 (Ara groupers)
- Family Trachinidae Rafinesque, 1815 (weeverfishes)
- Family Bembropidae Regan, 1913 (flatheads or duckbill flatheads)
Former classification
Until recently, the Percoidei had a much more expanded treatment containing many different morphologically similar families. However, such a treatment is now known to be polyphyletic.[2]
