Although no pattern was seen regarding extrusion rates and body shape (perciform versus clupeiform), greater extrusion was suggested by the somewhat higher predicted abundance ratio of engraulid (clupeiform) larvae 1-2 mm in length compared with that of similar-size scombrid (perciform) and sciaenid (perciform) larvae.

The Northern Inland Waters Stock of Harbor Seals was represented by 1792 scat samples; 64.06% of these contained clupeiform fishes, 47.04% contained perciform fishes, 44.68% contained gadiform fishes, and 21.23% contained scorpaeniform fishes.

Thus Regan (1923: 612) wrote: "The exact systematic position of the Icosteidae is uncertain, but the great development of cartilage and the weakness of the bones is evidently secondary, and there is nothing in their organization to prevent the assumption that the Icosteidae represent a specialized and somewhat degenerate development of the Perciform type." Berg (1940:494) accepted Regan's opinion, and placed the family Icosteidae in a separate order Icosteiformes (Malacichthyes).
