Centrarchidae
Centrarchidae, better known as sunfishes, is a family of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the order Perciformes (formerly belonging to the deprecated order Centrarchiformes), native only to North America. There are eight universally included genera within the centrarchid family: ''Lepomis'' (true sunfishes), ''Micropterus'' (black basses), ''Pomoxis'' (crappies), ''Enneacanthus'' (banded sunfishes), ''Centrarchus'' (type genus, consisting solely of the flier ''C. macropterus''), ''Archoplites'' ( Sacramento perch), ''Ambloplites'' (rock basses), and ''Acantharchus'' (mud sunfish). A genetic study in 2012 suggests that the highly distinct pygmy sunfishes of the genus ''Elassoma'' are also centarchids. The centrarchid family comprises 38 identified species, 34 of which are extant. It includes many popular game fishes familiar to North American anglers, such as the rock bass, largemouth bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, green sunfish and crappies. Most sunfish are highly valu ...
