  Palaeos Vertebrates 120.600 Euteleosti: Neognathi
Briefly, it appears that almost all of the esociforms were subject to severe selection for cold and drought tolerance in the recent geologic past, which can do very odd things to structures of metabolic proteins.
Further, the polarity of the characters used by Wilson and Veilleux is suspect because the position of esociforms within the teleosts was unknown.
At the time, it was believed that Esociforms (usually referred to as "Esocoidei" in the older literature), were either a kind of salmoniform (as assumed by Wilson and Veilleux), or were even more basal -- perhaps even the sister of Euteleostei.

Esociformes is a small order of ray-finned fish, with two families, the Umbridae (mudminnows) and the Esocidae (pikes).
The esociform fishes first appeared in the mid-Cretaceous -- early products of the Euteleost radiation of that time.
Today they are found only in fresh water in North America and the northern Eurasian regions.

 Esociformes
Today they are found only in fresh water in North America and Europe.
Most esociforms are classic ambush predators, with long well-muscled torsos, the dorsal and anal fins set well back and opposite each other for rapid acceleration along a straight line.
Anatomically, they are characterized by a number of features, including a toothless maxilla, absence of an adipose fin; and the absence of breeding tubercules.

 Taxonomy
Interestingly, the Salmoniformes are closely related to the Order Esociformes.
The relationship is so close that sometimes the Esociformes are made a suborder of the Salmoniformes.
More taxomomic information can be found from the entry "Salmonidae" at the USDA's Integrated Taxonomic Information System site.
