The Synagropidae are a fish family from the group of perch relatives (Percomorphaceae). They live in the Atlantic , Pacific and Indian Oceans at depths of several hundred meters.

features

The fish are 10 to 35 centimeters long. They have two dorsal fins supported by nine to eleven hard rays and nine to ten soft rays. The anal fin has three hard and seven to nine soft rays. All species of the Synagropidae have 25 vertebrae and seven Branchiostegal rays .

Systematics

The Synagropidae family includes 17 species from four genera. All of them were assigned to the Acropomatidae until October 2018 . This fish family was not monophyletic in its earlier composition , but consisted of three clades with different positions in the phylogenetic tree. Thus forming Acropoma , the type genus of Acropomatidae family, along with Doederleinia the sister group of Scombropidae while the genera Synagrops , Parascombrops and their relatives a more basal position within the order Pempheriformes taking (or Acropomatiformes). To get back to monophyletic families, two new families were introduced. For Synagrops and their close relatives, the name Synagropidae was available, which was introduced in 1961 by the South African ichthyologist James Leonard Brierley Smith as a subfamily (Synagropinae) of the cardinalfish (Apogonidae) and at that time only included Synagrops . The Synagropidae can be distinguished from the Acropomatidae by their fin formula .
