The sea chubs, also known as rudderfish and pilot fish and in Hawaiian as enenue or nenue,[1] [2] are a family, Kyphosidae, of fishes in the order Perciformes native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans usually close to shore in marine waters.[3]
The four subfamilies with 12 genera in this family are:
Some authorities raise the subfamilies to full family status as the families Girellidae, Kyphosidae, Microacanthidae and Scorpididae and do not support the monophyly of the Kyphosidae as outlined above.[3]
