Sign in to saveAlso known as sea breams, porgies, porgy
Sparidae, the seabreams and porgies, is a family of ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Acanthuriformes, although they were previously classified in the order Perciformes. The over 150 species are found in shallow and deep marine waters in temperate through tropical regions around the world. Most species are demersal carnivores.
OverviewAI-generated
Sparidae is a family of marine perciform fish within the order Perciformes, class Teleostei, and phylum Chordata. The taxon was established by Rafinesque in 1818 and is currently accepted by the World Register of Marine Species. It falls under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and has the synonym Centracanthidae. Common names for the group include porgies, havkarussfamilien, and špari.
The family comprises 38 genera and inhabits marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. Occurrence records are held by institutions such as ECOSUR, ICML-UNAM, and USNM, with data from Mexico and the United States. The taxon is referenced by 415 other encyclopedia articles.

Sparidae, the seabreams and porgies, is a family of ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Acanthuriformes, although they were previously classified in the order Perciformes. The over 150 species are found in shallow and deep marine waters in temperate through tropical regions around the world. Most species are demersal carnivores.
==Taxonomy== Sparidae was first proposed as a family in 1818 by the French polymath and naturalist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. Traditionally the taxa within the Spariformes were classified within the Perciformes, with some authorities using the term "Sparoid lineage" for the families Centracanthidae, Nemipteridae, Lethrinidae and Sparidae. Since then the use of molecular phylogenetics in more modern classifications has meant that the Spariformes is recognised as a valid order within the Percomorpha containing six families, with Callanthidae, Sillaginidae and Lobotidae included. Other workers have found that the Centracanthidae is synonymous with Sparidae and that the Spariformes contains only the remaining three families of the "Sparoid lineage".
