Siluriformes (order) (Osteichthyes (class), Vertebrata (subphylum), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Members of an order of nearly 2,900 species placed in about 35 families of bony fishes, characterized by certain distinctive features of the skull and swimbladder. Species vary widely in size and behavior, but most species have prominent barbels. They are sometimes classified in the same order as characins, carp, and minnows; their taxonomy is currently in flux as more research in molecular relationships is undertaken.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 涵蓋約三十五科，近兩千九百種硬骨魚的目。特徵在於頭骨與魚鰾。鯰目魚類的大小與習性因品種而異，但大多數品種都有顯著的觸鬚。有時與脂鯉、鯉魚以及鰷魚列為同目；由於分子關係研究尚未完成，鯰魚類的分類也未能確立。 |
