Vissen De valse snappers (Nemipteridae) vormen een familie van baarsachtige vissen. Ze worden aangetroffen in tropische wateren van de Indische en westelijke Grote Oceaan. De meeste soorten leven op de bodem en zijn carnivoor en eten kleine vissen, inktvissen, kreeftachtigen en borstelwormen. Sommige soorten eten ook plankton. Geslachten Volgens Fishbase zijn er vijf geslachten[1]: Nemipterus Swainson, 1839 Parascolopsis Boulenger, 1901 Pentapodus Quoy & Gaimard, 1824 Scaevius Whitley, 1947 Scolopsis Cuvier, 1814 Bronnen, noten en/of referenties ↑ (en) Nemipteridae.

Nemipteridae, the threadfin breams, whiptail breams, is a family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Spariformes. These fishes are found in the Indo-West Pacific region.
==Taxonomy== Nemipteridae was first proposed as a family in 1913 by the English ichthyologist Charles Tate Regan with the genera Heterognathodes, Nemipterus and Scolopsis included in the family. Traditionally this family has been classified within the Perciformes, as part of the group of families some authorities called the "Sparoid lineage", this included the families Centrarchidae, Nemipteridae, Lethrinidae and Sparidae. Molecular phylogenetics as used in more modern classifications has meant that the Spariformes is recognised as a valid order within the Percomorpha containing six families, with the Centrarchidae retained in the Perciformes, and Callanthidae, Sillaginidae and Lobotidae included. Other workers have found that the Centrarchidae is synonymous with Sparidae and that the Spariformes contains only the remaining three families of the "Sparoid lineage".
