From the Paper:
"Bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix)The bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) has a notorious reputation. Various authors have called the fish ferocious and bloodthirsty. While the predator may have a ravenous appetite, it is also the leading sports fish in the United States.
The Linnaean system of taxonomic classification places bluefish in Phylum Chordata, Class Actinopterygii, Order Perciformes, and Family Pomatomidae. Members of Chordata have a notochord; whereas class Actinopterygii consists of the ray-finned fishes (Nelson 76). The order Perciformes is the largest order of vertebral animals, and the most diversified of all the fish orders. Indeed, the Perciformes dominate vertebrate ocean life. The family Pomatomidae is represented by two genera, Pomatomus and Scombrops, and three species (Nelson 350-351). "
