Scombriformes is an order of bony fish containing nine families which were classified under the suborders Scombroidei and Stromateoidei, of the wider grouping known as Perciformes,[1] Nelson (2016) recognised the order[2] but subsequent workers have suggested that Scombriformes forms part of the larger Pelagiaria clade.[3]
