Carangiformes is an order of ray-finned fishes that is part of a sister clade to the Ovalentaria, the other orders in the clade being the Synbranchiformes, Anabantiformes, Istiophoriformes, and Pleuronectiformes. The Carangiformes have been long regarded as a monotypic order with only the family Carangidae within it by some authorities, and the other current families within the order have been previously classified as part of the wider order Perciformes. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classify six families within Carangiformes,[2] with other authorities expanding the order to include up to 30 families.[3]

The earliest known carangiforms are two fossil species of Mene, Mene purydi from Peru and Mene phosphatica from Tunisia, both of which are known from the Late Paleocene.[4]

Families

[edit]

These families are classified within the order Carangiformes:[2]

The Coryphaenidae, Rachycentridae, and Echeneidae have been suggested to comprise a monophyletic grouping, which has been recovered as a sister clade to the Carangidae.[2]
