The longfins, also known as roundheads or spiny basslets, are a family, Plesiopidae, which were formerly placed in the order Perciformes but are now regarded as being ''incertae sedis'' in the subseries Ovalentaria in the clade Percomorpha. They are elongated fishes, found in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean.

There are two subfamilies within the Plesiopidae and the genera are as follows: *Subfamily Acanthoclininae Günther, 1861 ** Genus ''Acanthoclinus'' Jenyns, 1841 ** Genus ''Acanthoplesiops'' Regan, 1912 ** Genus ''Beliops'' Hardy, 1985 ** Genus ''Belonepterygion'' McCulloch, 1915 ** Genus '' Notograptus'' Günther, 1867 * Subfamily Plesiopinae Günther, 1861 ** Genus ''Assessor'' Whitley, 1935 ** Genus ''Calloplesiops'' Fowler and Bean, 1930 ** Genus '' Fraudella'' Whitley, 1935 ** Genus ' ...

Johann Reinhold Forster
Johann Reinhold Forster (22 October 1729 – 9 December 1798) was a German Reformed (Calvinist) pastor and naturalist of partially Scottish descent who made contributions to the early ornithology of Europe and North America. He is best known as the naturalist on James Cook's second Pacific voyage, where he was accompanied by his son Georg Forster. These expeditions promoted the career of Johann Reinhold Forster and the findings became the bedrock of colonial professionalism and helped set the stage for the future development of anthropology and ethnology. They also laid the framework for general concern about the impact that alteration of the physical environment for European economic expansion would have on exotic societies. Biography Forster's family originated in the Lords Forrester in Scotland from where his great-grandfather had emigrated after losing most of his property during the rule of Oliver Cromwell along with many other Scots.
