Centropomidae is a family of freshwater and marine fishes in the Perciformes. The sole genus in the family is ''Centropomus'', known commonly as the snooks or robalos.〔(''Centropomus''. ) Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS).〕 Prior to 2004, three other genera were placed in Centropomidae in subfamily Latinae, which has since been raised to the family level and renamed Latidae because a cladistic analysis showed the old Centropomidae to be paraphyletic, leaving ''Centropomus'' as the only remaining genus in this family. These are popular game and food fishes. Dating from the upper Cretaceous, the centropomids are of typical percoid shape, distinguished by having two-part dorsal fins, a lateral line that extends onto the tail, and, frequently, a concave shape to the head. They range from in length and are found in tropical and subtropical waters. ==Species== The currently recognized species in this genus are: * ''Centropomus armatus'' T. N. Gill, 1863 (armed snook) * ''Centropomus ensiferus'' Poey, 1860 (swordspine snook) * ''Centropomus medius'' Günther, 1864 (blackfin snook) * ''Centropomus mexicanus'' Bocourt, 1868 (largescale fat snook) * ''Centropomus nigrescens'' Günther, 1864 (black snook) * ''Centropomus parallelus'' Poey, 1860 (fat snook) * ''Centropomus pectinatus'' Poey, 1860 (tarpon snook) * ''Centropomus poeyi'' Chávez, 1961 (Mexican snook) * ''Centropomus robalito'' D. S. Jordan & C. H. Gilbert, 1882 (yellowfin snook) * ''Centropomus undecimalis'' (Bloch, 1792) (common snook) * ''Centropomus unionensis'' Bocourt, 1868 (union snook) * ''Centropomus viridis'' Lockington, 1877 (white snook) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Centropomidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
