Triglinae is a subfamily of demersal, marine ray-finned fishes, part of the family Triglidae, the gurnards and searobins. These gurnards are found in all the tropical and temperate oceans of the world except for the Western Atlantic Ocean.

Genera

The following 4 genera are classified within the subfamily Triglinae.[2][3]

Characteristics

Triglinae gurnards have all the tips of the lower pterygiophores expanded and exposed the bases of both the first and second dorsal fins, There is no basihyal and the lateral line forks into two on the caudal fin. They have a vertebrae count of between 29 and 35.[4] The largest species is the tub gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerna) which has a maximum published total length of 75.1 cm (29.6 in) while the smallest is the spotwing gurnard (Lepidotrigla spiloptera) which has a maximum published total length of 10 cm (3.9 in).[2]
