The sunfishes are a family (Centrarchidae) of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the order Perciformes. The Middle Miocene is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages: the Langhian and Serravallian stages FlyEr is the Belarusian Rap writer and performerThough his Rap started from the American hip-hop tradition music of FlyEr is closer than The Actinopterygii (the plural form of Actinopterygius) comprise the class of the ray-finned fishes. The Perciformes, also called the Percomorphi or Acanthopteri, include about 40% of all bony Fish and are the largest order of vertebrates.

Family members are distinguished by having at least three anal spines. The dorsal spines are 5–13 in number, but most species have 10–12. The pseudobranch is small and concealed. The pseudobranch, also pseudobranchia is the reduced first Gill arch of a Fish (on the inner surface of the opercle near the junction of the preopercle Sizes of most are in the 20–30 cm (8–12 in) range, but with the largemouth bass reported to reach almost one metre (just over three feet) in extreme cases. The metre or meter is a unit of Length. It is the basic unit of Length in the Metric system and in the International Inches redirects here To see the Les Savy Fav album see Inches.

The male of most species builds a nest by hollowing out a depression using his tail, then guards the eggs.

Most sunfishes are valued for sports fishing, and have been introduced in many areas outside their original ranges, sometimes becoming pests. For the computer security term see Phishing. Fishing is the activity of catching Fish.

The marine sunfishes (family Molidae) are entirely unrelated; for some other fishes known as "sunfish", see Ocean Sunfish.

Fossil record

The earliest fossils of Centrarchidae are from Middle Miocene Nebraska, belonging to the redear sunfish (13. The Middle Miocene is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages: the Langhian and Serravallian stages Nebraska ( is a state located on the Great Plains of the Midwestern United States and The redear sunfish ( Lepomis microlophus) also known as the shellcracker, Georgia bream, cherry gill, chinquapin, improved bream 6-16. 3 million years ago)[1].
