Suborder GIGANTUROIDEI
Compiler and date details
16 July 2016 - Douglass F. Hoese
Introduction
Baldwin & Johnson (1996) defined the suborder Giganturoidei. Wiley & Johnson (2010) followed that classification. It comprises two families of fishes found in mesopelagic and benthic environments of the continental slope in all oceans. Davis (2010) included this group in the suborder Alepisauroidei as a supefamily Ipnopoidea along with the Bathysauropsidae, Bathysauroididae and Ipnopidae.
