Fragments of mitochondrial (COI and rRNA 16S) and nuclear (Tmo-4C4) genes were sequenced to evaluate the phylogenetic relationships among 15 genera of the western South Atlantic Sciaenidae, two freshwater genera and the northwest Pacific Larimichthys crocea. Our results suggest a great diversification for the western Atlantic assemblage; the monophyly of Macrodon, Menticirrhus and Plagioscion genera; the distinctiveness of Bardiella, Stellifer and Ophioscion as belonging to the same clade; the possible existence of two distinct groups in Stellifer; the closer relationship between Lonchurus and Paralonchurus; the non-monophyly of Cynoscion; and the remarkable diversification of Larimus breviceps populations in the Brazilian coast. This is the most comprehensive study evaluating the phylogenetic relationships of the western Atlantic sciaenid and provides a guide for future studies within this family.
线粒体（COI 和 rRNA 16S）和核（Tmo-4C4）基因片段被测序，以评估西大西洋 Sciaenidae 科的 15 个属、两个淡水属和西北太平洋的 Larimichthys crocea 之间的系统发育关系。我们的结果表明，大西洋西部集合体具有高度的多样化；Macrodon、Menticirrhus 和 Plagioscion 属的单系性；Bardiella、Stellifer 和 Ophioscion 作为同一分支的独特性；Stellifer 中可能存在两个不同的群体；Lonchurus 和 Paralonchurus 之间的密切关系；Cynoscion 的非单系性；以及巴西海岸的 Larimus breviceps 种群的显著多样化。这是评估西大西洋石首鱼科系统发育关系的最全面研究，并为该科的未来研究提供了指导。
