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.
