The sea chubs, also known as rudderfish and pilot fish and in Hawaiian as enenue or nenue, are a family, Kyphosidae, (from Greek, kyphos = hump) of fishes in the order Centrarchiformes native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans usually close to shore in marine waters. Genera The following two genera are placed in this family: Kyphosidae Jordan, 1887 (rudderfishes) Genus Kyphosus Lacepède, 1801 Genus Neoscorpis J.L.B. Smith, 1931 In the past, Girellidae, Scorpididae and Microcanthidae were treated as subfamilies within Kyphosidae. However, they are now treated as distinct families. References Kyphosus sectatrix, the Bermuda chub, Pacific drummer, beaked chub, grey drummer, Pacific chub or white chub, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a sea chub from the family Kyphosidae. This species is found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters worldwide. It has had a confused taxonomic history dating back to Linnaeus's naming of the species in 1758.

It lacks an obvious bulge on its forehead and it has a small, horizontal mouth which opens at the front.

The dorsal fin contains 11 spines and 11–12 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 11 soft rays. The caudal...
