They have a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from small gobies to large tuna. They have an elongated body shape with two dorsal fins and an anal fin. The pelvic fins are typically located near the head and the caudal fin is usually forked or lunate in shape. It also possess several unique features such as spines on their gill covers, enlarged scales on their bodies, and specialized teeth for crushing prey items like mollusks or crustaceans.
