Etymology

Scomberesocidae comes from parts that mean 'mackerel' (scomber) and 'pike' (esox), plus the scientific ending -idae meaning 'family'. So, think of a long, thin fish that looks like a mix of mackerel and pike, and you will see why Scomberesocidae is the family name for these slender sea fish.
