Amblyopsidae (1077 words) |
| The Percopsiformes may be remotely related to the codfishes (Gadiformes) and toadfishes (Batrachoidiformes). |
| These are fishes small in size (less than 20 cm or 8 in) characterized by a mosaic of primitive and advanced characters that include some primitive ones such as adipose fin and advanced ones such as a pelvic girdle located further back from the cranium when compared with most other fishes. |
| Percopsiformes are found in North America, from Alaska and the Great Lakes drainage to the south and eastern United States. |
