References on the Sciaenidae



The following is a list of references on the family Sciaenidae (Teleostei, Perciformes) from my bibliographical database. It is by no means complete, there are thousands upon thousands of references on the Sciaenidae, my list contains only a few hundred. Most references are of New World sciaenids, with the genus Cynoscion best represented. I apologize for not providing the list in a searchable format. For now you can use your browser's "find in page" function to look for particular terms.
