Acropomatiformes
The Acropomatiformes or Pempheriformes are an order of fish from the group of perch relatives Percomorpha. The relationship of the families assigned to the Acropomatiformes is based on molecular biological studies and is not yet supported by morphological characteristics. The giant sea bass (''Stereolepis gigas'') of the Eastern Pacific Ocean, with a maximum length of and weight of , is the largest species of the Pempheriformes. As early as 2007, Smith and Craig established a relationship between the wreckfish Polyprionidae, the longfin pike Dinolestes lewini, the armored heads Pentacerotidae and the lanternbellies Acropomatidae. In February 2009, Blaise Li and colleagues described a monophyletic clade composed of the Howellidae, the Lateolabracidae and the deep-sea cardinalfishes Epigonidae in their analysis of the relationships between the various groups of the Acanthomorpha. In a revision of the bony fish systematics published in early 2013 by Ricardo Betancur-R. and c ...

Acropomatidae
Acropomatidae is a family (biology), family of ray-finned fish in the order (biology), order Acropomatiformes, commonly known as lanternbellies. ''Acropoma'' species are notable for having bioluminescence, light-emitting organs along their undersides. They are found in all temperate and tropical oceans, usually at depths of several hundred meters. There are about 32 species in as many as 9 genera, although some authorities recognise fewer genera than Fishbase does. Members of the family are generally small, with some ranging up to 40 cm, but most no more than 15 cm. They have two dorsal fins, the first with seven to 10 spines and the second with possibly a spine in addition to eight to 10 soft rays. The anal fin has two or three spines, and the pelvic fins one spine and five soft rays.

Dinolestes Lewini
The long-finned pike or yellowfin pike (''Dinolestes lewini'') is a species of acropomatiform ray-finned fish, the only species in the genus ''Dinolestes'', as well as the family Dinolestidae. It is an elongated fish with a pointed snout, and silver in color, similar in appearance to a barracuda, and grows up to in total length. It is endemic to the coastal waters of southern Australia, including New South Wales, at depths between .

Pentacerotidae
Pentacerotidae or armourheads are a small family of ray-finned fishes in the order Acropomatiformes. They are native to the Indian Ocean, western and central Pacific, and southwestern Atlantic. They are generally found at rocky reefs below normal scuba diving depths, although several species occur in low densities at shallower depths. Their name, from Greek ''pente'' meaning "five" and ''keras'' meaning "horn", refers to the prominent, sharp spines in their dorsal fins (though these do not number five in all species). The largest species in the family (''Paristiopterus'') may reach a length of . Many species have distinct dark-and-light-striped bodies, while others are overall dusky-silvery.

Acropoma
''Acropoma'' is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. They are native to the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean. They are characterized by a ventral luminous organ that has a luminous gland, a lens, and a reflector. The shape of the luminous organ helps distinguish the species in the genus. Species The following species are currently recognised as being members of this genus: * ''Acropoma arafurensis'' Makoto Okamoto, Okamoto, Jeffrey T. Williams, J.T. Williams, Kent E. Carpenter, K.E. Carpenter, Mudjekeewis D. Santos, M. D. Santos & Seishi Kimura, 2019 * ''Acropoma argentistigma'' Makoto Okamoto, Okamoto & Hitoshi Ida, H.

Percomorpha
Percomorpha () is an extremely large and diverse clade of ray-finned fish. With more than 17,000 known species (including Scombroidei, tuna, Syngnathiformes, seahorses, gobies, Cichlidae, cichlids, flatfish, Labridae, wrasse, Perciformes, perches, Lophiiformes, anglerfish, and Tetraodontiformes, pufferfish) known from both marine and freshwater ecosystems, it is the most speciose clade of extant Vertebrate, vertebrates. Evolution Percomorpha are the most biodiversity, diverse group of teleost fish today. Teleosts, and percomorphs in particular, thrived during the Cenozoic Era (geology), era. Fossil evidence shows that there was a major increase in size and abundance of teleosts immediately after the mass extinction event at the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary ago. The oldest known percomorph fossils are of the early Tetraodontiformes, tetraodontiforms ''Protriacanthus'' and Cretatriacanthidae from the Santonian to Campanian of Italy and Slov ...

Creediidae
The sandburrowers or simply burrowers are a family, Creediidae, of ray-finned fishes in the order Acropomatiformes. They are native to coastal waters the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They are very small fishes; with the exception of the larger Donaldson's sandburrower, ''Limnichthys donaldsoni'', most species reach only 3 to 7 cm in length. They live in shallow waters close to the shore, burrowing into sandy areas swept by currents or by surf.
