The bonefishes are a family (Albulidae) of ray-finned fish that are popular as game fish in Florida and elsewhere. The family is small, with seven species in two genera.
Presently the bonefishes are in their own order: Albuliformes. The spiny eels (Notacanthidae) and halosaurs (Halosauridae) may be classified in this order, or given their own order: Notacanthiformes.
