Zeiform
The Zeiformes are a small order of marine ray-finned fishes most notable for the dories, a group of common food fish. The order consists of about 33 species in seven families, mostly deep-sea types. Zeiform bodies are usually thin and deep. Mouths are large, with distensible jaws, and there is no orbitosphenoid. Pelvic fins have 5–10 soft rays and possibly a spine, 5–10 dorsal fin spines and up to 4 anal fin spines. They range in size from the dwarf dory ''(Macrurocyttus acanthopodus)'', at in length, to the Cape dory ''(Zeus capensis)'', which measures up to . The boarfishes (Caproidae) have been included in this order though they are currently included in the Perciformes. Families *Family Cyttidae (lookdown dories) *Family Grammicolepididae (tinselfishes) *Family Oreosomatidae (oreos) *Family Parazenidae (parazens) *Family Sorbinipercidae (extinct) *Family Zeidae (dories) *Family Zenionidae (zeniontids) (formerly known as Macrurocyttidae) *Family Bajaichthyidae (extinct, ...
