Nibea is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. The species in this genus are found in the Indo-West Pacific region.
==Taxonomy== Nibea was first proposed as a genus in 1911 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan & William Francis Thompson with Pseudotolithus mitsukurii designated as its type species. P. mitsukurii had originally been described in 1900 by Jordan and John Otterbein Snyder with its type locality given as Tokyo Bay, Japan. This taxon has been placed in the subfamily Otolithinae by some workers, but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sciaenidae which it places in the order Acanthuriformes.
