  Gasterosteiformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gasterosteiformes is an order of ray-finned fishes that includes a number of familiar types, like the sticklebacks, pipefishes, and seahorses.
In the gasterosteiformes, the Pelvis is never attached to the cleithra directly, and the supramaxillary, orbitosphenoid, and basisphenoid bones are absent.
Gasterosteiformes means stomach-bone shaped is derived from the Greek words gaster (stomach), osteon (bone) and the Latin word forma (shape).

 Order Gasterosteiformes
The monotypic family Indostomidae of the fresh waters of Burma is sometimes placed in its own order.
Its exact placement may be open to question, but it has features in common with Gasterosteiformes and probably belongs with this order (Greenwood 1966, Pietsch 1978).
This curious little fish, Indostomus paradoxus, has free spines before the dorsal fin, and the slender body is enclosed in bony rings, so it combines some of the characteristics of both sticklebacks and pipefishes.
