Acanthopterygii (meaning "spiny finned one") is a superorder of bony fishes in the class Actinopterygii. Members of this superorder are sometimes called ray-finned fishes for the characteristic sharp, bony rays in their fins; however this name is often given to the class Actinopterygii as a whole.

Order Stephanoberyciformes, including the ridgeheads
Order Beryciformes, including the fangtooths and pineconefishes
Order Zeiformes, including the dories
Order Gobiesociformes, the clingfishes[1]
Order Gasterosteiformes including the sticklebacks
Order Syngnathiformes, including the seahorses and pipefishes [2]
Order Synbranchiformes, including the swamp eels
Order Tetraodontiformes, including the filefishes and pufferfishes
Order Pleuronectiformes, the flatfishes
Order Scorpaeniformes, including the scorpionfishes
Order Perciformes 40% of all fishes including anabantids, basses, cichlids, gobies, gouramis, mackerels, perches, scats, whitings, wrasses
