| Description |
Family Sciaenidae (croakers) is one of the largest family under Order Perciforms are small to moderately sized fishes, widespread in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. These fishes are usually reported off beaches, estuaries, sheltered bays and bar mouths. Family Sciaenidae includes many commercially and recreationally important species. A total of 584 nominal species belonging to 289 valid species and 69 genera is reported worldwide. Their common name derives from their ability to produce drumming or croaking sounds through specialized body muscles connected to the swim bladder, which acts as a resonating chamber. The sound production could play a role during spawning season. |
