Salmoniformes (/sælˈmɒnɪfɔːrmiːz/, lit. "salmon-shaped") is an order of ray-finned fishes native to the temperate and subarctic Northern Hemisphere.[1] It contains two suborders: Salmonoidei (containing only the Salmonidae) and Esocoidei (containing pikes and mudminnows).[1] In addition, potential fossil members of the group, dating back to the Late Cretaceous, are also known from Europe and Africa.[2] Both large-sized members of this order (Salmonidae and Esocidae) are important food and sport fish of the Northern Hemisphere.
