This guide uses the internationally accepted order which groups fish with similar features into families, with adjacent families having slightly but distinctly different features. We have given the SCIENTIFIC FAMILY NAME in addition to the common family name. We are targeting these most commonly found families first. If the family has a hyperlink, we have some members, if not, it’s a work in progress.
