  Threadfin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Threadfins are silvery grey perciform marine fish of the family Polynemidae.
This feature explains both the common name threadfin and the family name Polynemidae, from the Greek poly meaning "many" and nema meaning "filament." Similar species, such as the mullets (family Mugilidae) and milkfish (family Chanidae) can be easily distinguished from threadfins by their lack of filamentous pectoral rays.
Threadfins frequent open, shallow water in areas with muddy, sandy or silty bottoms; they are rarely glimpsed at reefs.

 The Sciaenidae, Evolution and Position Within the Perciformes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Sasaki could not identify a potential sister family for the Sciaenidae.
More recently, Johnson (1993) pointed to a close affinity between the Sciaenidae and the Polynemidae based mainly on the similarity of larvae, the presence of a deep complicated membranous prenasal canal extension, the medial interdigitation of the metapterygoid and quadrate, and the insertion of a single branchiostegal ray on the posterior ceratohyal.
Johnson recommended the Sciaenidae and Polynamidae be placed in the superfamily Polynemoidea.
