Jordaniidae

see text Jordaniidae is a small family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Perciformes.

Jordaniidae was first proposed as a subfamily, Jordaniinae, of the family Cottidae in 1898 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann.

[1] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies this family within the superfamily Cottoidea, in the suborder Cottoidei of the Scorpaeniformes.

[7][8] Jordaniidae sculpins are found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Alaska to California.

They are demersal fish found from the intertidal zone to 138 m (453 ft) in rocky areas.
