Scombriformesis anorderofbony fishcontaining ninefamilieswhich were classified under thesubordersScombroideiandStromateoidei,of the wider grouping known asPerciformes,[1]Fishes of the World,5th ed. (2016), recognised the order[2]but subsequent workers have suggested that Scombriformes forms part of the largerPelagiariaclade.[3]
The earliest scombriform isLandanichthysfrom theMiddle PaleoceneofAngola.[4]
