Suborder ALEPISAUROIDEI
Compiler and date details
16 July 2016 - Douglass F. Hoese
Introduction
Baldwin & Johnson (1996) defined the suborder Alepisauroidei. That classification was followed by Wiley & Johnson (2010). The suborder contains four families of fishes found in mesopelagic and bathypelagic environments in all oceans. Davis (2010) presented a different classification, retaining it as a monophyletic group, but including the families in the superfamily Alepisauroidea of the suborder Alepisauroidei and separated the Sudidae from the Paralepedidae.
