Stromateidae
The family Stromateidae or butterfish contains 15 species of fish in three genera. Butterfishes live in coastal waters off the Americas, western Africa and in the Indo-Pacific. The endemic New Zealand species '' Odax pullus'' is commonly called butterfish, but is from a separate family Odacidae. The Japanese butterfish ''Psenopsis anomala'' is from the separate family Centrolophidae. The African butter catfish is also known as the butter fish. In South Australia, the '' Argyrosomus japonicus'' is commonly called butterfish as well.

Peprilus Paru
''Peprilus paru'', (harvestfish or American harvestfish; syn. ''Peprilus alepidotus''), also occasionally known by a few local names as star butter fish or sometimes even simply as butterfish, is a marine, benthopelagic, circular-shaped and deep-bodied fish classified in the family Stromateidae of butterfishes. These fish grow usually to about in length, and are deep-bodied and circular-shaped, with curved fins, rounded nose and small mouth. Harvestfish are greenish silvery above, silvery sometimes tinged with yellow on its sides and belly and the fins of some individuals are slightly dusky or yellowish. Their habitat is the subtropical waters of the Western Atlantic: Chesapeake Bay and northern Gulf of Mexico in United States to Argentina. Harvestfish are sometimes caught commercially as a food fish. Description The harvestfish is deep-bodied, round, and strongly compressed laterally with a forked caudal fin.

Silver Or White Pomfret
''Pampus argenteus'', the silver pomfret or white pomfret, is a species of butterfish that lives in the Indo-West Pacific, spanning the coastal waters of the Middle East, Eastern Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. The species has been reported only twice, one hundred years apart, from the central Mediterranean Sea. Silver pomfrets are usually silver/white in color, with few small scales. They can grow up to a range of 4–6 kg (8–13 lb). However, due to overfishing, specimens weighing less than 1 kg (2 lb) are more commonly seen. The silver pompano should not be mistaken for the Florida pompano (''Trachinotus carolinus''), which is a jackfish found off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico, and neither should be confused with true pomfrets, which are of the family Bramidae. As food This fish is prized in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region for its taste. Its flesh is soft and buttery when cooked. It is called ''pamplet'' or ''Maanji'' ...

Peprilus Simillimus
''Peprilus simillimus'' is ray-finned fish in the family Stromateidae and therefore belongs to the order Scombiformes. The fish can reach a length of 28 centimeters. Habitat ''Peprilus simillimus'' is a saltwater fish. The fish prefers a subtropical climate and lives mainly in the Pacific Ocean. The depth spread is 9 to 91 meters below the surface of the water.
