Trichodontidae
Trichodontidae, the sandfishes, is a small Family (biology), family of ray-finned fishes from the Order (biology), order Perciformes. The species in this family are found in the Pacific Ocean, North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Trichodontidae was first proposed as a family in 1869 by the Dutch herpetologist and ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker. For a long time the family was thought to be classified within the order Trachiniformes but in 2000 the family was reclassified by the Russian biologists Mikhail Nazarkin and Olga Voskoboinikova the monotypic Superfamily (biology), superfamily Trichodontoidea in the suborder Cottoidei of the order Scorpaeniformes. Other workers have found that if the Scorpaeniformes, as delimited in the 5the edition of ''Fishes of the World'', is not included in the Perciformes it renders the Perciformes paraphyletic. These workers retain the Cottoidei as a suborder within the Perciformes but include the Zoarcoidei, zoarcoids and Gasterosteoidei, Sticklebacks an ...
