Arripis
Arripis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes from Australia and New Zealand, known as Australian salmon, kahawai and Australian herring. They are the only members of the family Arripidae. Despite the common name, Australian salmon are not related to the salmon family Salmonidae of the Northern Hemisphere, just as Australian herring are not related to herring of the Northern Hemisphere, but belong to the order Scombriformes of mackerel-like fishes. Australian salmon were named so by early European settlers after their superficial resemblance to salmonids.
