Holocentridae is a family of
ray-finned fish, the only family of the order Holocentriformes.[1] The members of the subfamily Holocentrinae are typically known as squirrelfish, while the members of Myripristinae typically are known as soldierfish.[2] In Hawaii, they are known by the Japanese name mempachi/menpachi (メンパチ) or the Hawaiian
ʻūʻū.
They are found in tropical parts of the
invertebrates, while the soldierfishes typically feed on zooplankton.[6] The larvae are pelagic, unlike the adults, and can be found far out to sea.[3]
Timeline
Definitive holocentroid fishes first appear in the earliest part of the Cenozoic and boast a modest fossil record.[7]
