Editing Perciformes (section)

==== Past classifications ====
As traditionally defined before the introduction of [[cladistics]], the Perciformes are almost certainly [[paraphyletic]]. Other orders that should possibly be included as suborders are the [[Scorpaeniformes]], [[Tetraodontiformes]], and [[Pleuronectiformes]].
Of the presently recognized suborders, several may be paraphyletic, as well. These are grouped by suborder/superfamily, generally following the text ''[[Fishes of the World]]''.<ref name="nelson" /><ref>{{FishBase order |order=Perciformes|month=August |year=2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=ADW: Perciformes|url=http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/Perciformes/classification/|work=animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu|publisher=Animal Diversity Web}}</ref><ref name="Nelson5" />
