The halfbeaks (family Hemiramphidae) are a geographically widespread and numerically abundant family of epipelagic fish inhabiting warm waters around the world. The halfbeaks are named for their distinctive jaws, in which the lower jaws are significantly longer than the upper jaws. The similar viviparous halfbeaks (family Zenarchopteridae) have often been included in this family.
Though not commercially important themselves, these forage fish support artisanal fisheries and local markets worldwide. They are also fed upon by other commercially important predatory fishes, such as billfishes, mackerels, and sharks.
==Taxonomy==
In 1775, Carl Linnaeus was the first to scientifically describe a halfbeak, ''Esox brasiliensis''. In 1775 Peter Forsskål described two more species as ''Esox'', ''Esox far'' and ''Esox marginatus''. It was not until 1816 that Georges Cuvier created the genus ''Hemiramphus''; from then on, all three were classified as ''Hemiramphus''. In 1859, Gill erected Hemiramphidae, deriving its name from ''Hemiramphus'', the family's type genus.〔 The name comes from the Greek ''hemi'', meaning half, and ''rhamphos'', meaning beak or bill.
The Hemiramphinae are primarily marine and found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, though some inhabit estuaries and rivers. The Zenarchopterinae are confined to the Indo-West Pacific zoogeographic region, an area running from East Africa to the Caroline Islands.
