The Luciopercinae is a subfamily of ray-finned fish, classified within the Family (biology), family Percidae, the subfamily includes the pike-perches and zingels. The pike-perches of the genus ''Zander, Sander'' have an Holarctic distribution while the zingels of the Tribe (biology), tribe Romanichthyini are found in Europe. They are largely freshwater species but some can be found in brackish water. Characteristics The species within the Luciopercinae have a number of morphological characteristics in common. These are the possession of weak spines in the anal fin, the lateral line extending as far as the margin of the caudal fin and additional lines over and under the main lateral line, having a cleithrum which does not have serrations on the pectoral girdle, and having a vertebra count of 41–50.

Romanichthyini
Romanichthyini is a tribe (taxonomy), tribe of freshwater ray-finned fish which is one of two tribes in the subfamily Luciopercinae, which in turn is classified under the Family (biology), family Percidae, the family also includes the perches, Sander (fish), pikeperches, Gymnocephalus, ruffes and Darter (fish), darters. Taxonomy The Romanichthyini is the sister taxon to the tribe Luciopercini and together they form the subfamily Luciopercinae. There are two genera classified within the tribe, although there is evidence to suggest that it may be a single genus and that the asprete should be classified within ''Zingel''. Apart from one species which is found in the Rhone the species in the tribe are endemism, endemic to the Danube basin. The two genera are: * ''Romanichthys'' Dumitrescu, Bănărescu & Stoica 1957 * ''Zingel'' Hippolyte Cloquet, Cloquet, 1817 References {{Taxonbar, From=Q97495923 Luciopercinae Fish tribes ...
