Harpagiferidae, the plunderfishes, are a family of marine perciform fishes native to the Southern Ocean.
Taxonomy
The following subfamilies and genera are classified within it:
- Family Harpagiferidae Gill, 1861 Subfamily Harpagiferinae Gill, 1861 (spiny plunderfishes) Genus Harpagifer Richardson, 1844 Subfamily Artedidraconinae Andriashev, 1967 (barbeled plunderfishes) Genus Artedidraco Lönnberg, 1905 Genus Dolloidraco Roule, 1913 Genus Histiodraco Regan, 1914 Genus Pogonophryne Regan, 1914
In the past, Artedidraconinae was instead classified as its own family. However, Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes presently considers it a subfamily of Harpagiferidae.
