Most marine fishes are members of the largest and most diverse class of vertebrates, the Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). Ray-finned fishes account for more than half of all living vertebrate taxa and contain 42 taxonomic orders worldwide. Within Australian waters, marine and freshwater taxa encompass 35 of these orders, all of which are in the infraclass Teleostei (modern bony fishes).
