Editing Sciaenidae (section)

==Taxonomy==
Sciaenidae was first proposed as a family in 1829 by the French [[zoologist]] Georges Cuvier.<ref name = "van der Laan et al. 2014"/> The 5th edition of ''[[Fishes of the World]]'' classifies the family in the [[suborder]] [[Sciaenoidei]], alongside the rover family [[Emmelichthyidae]], in the order [[Acanthuriformes]].<ref name = Nelson5/> Other authorities classify the Sciaenidae and the Emmelichthyidae as ''[[incertae sedis]]'' within the series [[Eupercaria]].<ref name = Deepfin>{{cite journal | author1 = Ricardo Betancur-R | author2 = Edward O.

The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'', ''[[FishBase|Fishbase]]'' and ''[[Catalog of Fishes]]'' do not recognise [[Subfamily|subfamilies]] within the Sciaenidae<ref name = Nelson5/><ref name = FishBase/><ref name = CofF2/> but many workers on these fishes do recognise subfamilies and tribes within the family. For example, in 1989 Kunio Sasaki erected a number of subfamilies and [[Tribe (biology)|tribe]]s.<ref name = Sasaki1989>{{cite journal | author = Kunio Sasaki | year = 1989 | title = Phylogeny of the family Sciaenidae, with notes on its Zoogeography (Teleostei, Peciformes) | journal = Memoirs of the Faculty of Fishes Hokkaido University | volume = 36 | issue = 1–2 | pages = 1–137 | url = https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/21886/1/36(1_2)_P1-137.pdf}}</ref>
