Sciaenoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Acanthuriformes.

Taxonomy

The suborder was first proposed in 1828 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the suborder in the order Acanthuriformes. Other authorities classify the Sciaenidae and the Emmelichthyidae as incertae sedis within the series Eupercaria. The Catalog of Fishes retains this family within the Acanthuriformes but does not recognise the suborder Sciaenoidei.
