What is another word for pomatomidae?
Pronunciation: [pˈɒmɐtˌɒmɪdˌiː] (IPA) 
Pomatomidae is a family of marine fishes commonly known as bluefish or tailor. However, there are several other synonyms used to refer to this family. Some of these synonyms include the bluefish tribe, choppers, elfies, gators, and snappers. The name "bluefish tribe" is derived from their blue-green coloration and the fact that they often travel in large schools. "Choppers" refers to their sharp teeth and "gators" refers to their aggressive and predatory behavior. "Snappers" is simply a reference to their family name, which translates to "sharp-toothed" in Greek. Despite the variety of names, all of these synonyms refer to the same family of fish that inhabit coastal regions of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
