The common name ''dory'' (from the Middle English ''dorre'', from the Middle French ''doree'', lit. "gilded one") is shared (officially and colloquially) by members of several different families of large-eyed, silvery, deep-bodied, laterally compressed, and roughly discoid marine fish. As well as resembling each other, dories are also similar in habit: most are deep-sea and demersal. Additionally, many species support commercial fisheries and are considered excellent food fish. Most dory families belong to the order Zeiformes, suborder Zeioidei: *The "true dories", family Zeidae (five species, including the well-known John Dory) *The zeniontids, family Zenionidae or Zeniontidae (seven species) *The "Australian dories", family Cyttidae (three species all within the genus ''Cyttus'') *The oreos, family Oreosomatidae (ten species) *The parazen family, Parazenidae (four species, including the rosy dory) Additionally, several species of spinyfin (family Diretmidae, order Beryciformes) have been given the name ''dory'' by fishmongers, presumably to make the fish more marketable. In parts of Southeast Asia, fillets of Pangasius sp. catfishes are referred to as ''cream dory'', ''Pangasius dory'' or ''Pacific dory''. == See also == *List of fish common names *Dory (disambiguation) * *Dory (Finding Nemo) 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「Dory (fish)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
