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.{{cite web | url = https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=401112 | title = Suborder Sciaenoidei Cuvier 1828 | access-date = 17 April 2023 | website = fossilworks}} The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the suborder in the order Acanthuriformes.{{cite book |title=Fishes of the World |edition=5th |author1=J.
