Other Ray-Finned Fish Orders

Other Ray-Finned Fish Orders is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers orders of ray-finned fishes that do not belong to the carp and catfish group, the salmon and pike group or the perch-like and related marine fish group, such as the eels of Anguilliformes and the cods and hakes of Gadiformes. An entry belongs here when its own cited article describes an order of ray-finned fishes with an elongated eel body or with the soft-rayed, chin-barbeled shape of a cod. It excludes the orders already grouped in this subcategory. The group collects the remaining orders so a reader can compare marine and freshwater fishes whose lineages are far apart.
