Fishes are a paraphyletic group and for this reason, the class Pisces seen in older reference works is no longer used in formal taxonomy.Traditional classification divides fish into three extant classes (Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, and Osteichthyes), and with extinct forms sometimes classified within those groups, sometimes as their own classes: [1]
A printed 3000-page three-volume and CD version of the Catalogue was published in 1998. That was preceded by a Catalog of the genera of recent fishes in 1990. [5] The Catalog was renamed Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes in 2019, and is now edited by Ronald Fricke, Richard van der Laan and William N. Eschmeyer. It is available online, and updated ...
The phylogenetic classification of bony fishes is a phylogenetic classification of bony fishes and is based on phylogenies inferred using molecular and genomic data for nearly 2000 fishes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The first version was published in 2013 and resolved 66 orders. [ 2 ]
Fishes of the World is a standard reference for the systematics of fishes.It was first written in 1976 by the American ichthyologist Joseph S. Nelson (1937–2011). Now in its fifth edition (2016), the work is a comprehensive overview of the diversity and classification of the 30,000-plus fish species known to science.
Paracanthopterygii is a superorder of fishes. Members of this group are called paracanthopterygians. The oldest members are known as fossils from the Cenomanian. [1] It includes five orders: [2] [3] †Sphenocephaliformes; Percopsiformes (trout-perches & allies) Zeiformes ; Stylephoriformes ; Gadiformes (cods & allies)

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 ...
Class Chondrichthyes (cartilagineous fish - sharks and rays) Class Osteichthyes (bony fish), which has two subclasses: Actinopterygii (ray-finned fish) Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish) Full details of higher order fish taxonomy can be found in the Chordata article.
