URL: http://www.ittiofauna.org/webmuseum/pesciossei/atheriniformes/atherinidae/atheri

ll nome deriva dal greco atherнne o atherнnos (= aterina) usato nel IV secolo a.C. da Aristotele, poi da Callimaco nel III secolo a.C. e da Atenиo nel Il secolo a.C., per indicare le specie che sono oggi denominate scientificamente come Atherina hepsetus e Atherina boyeri (= Atherina mochon). Resti fossili di Atherinidae sono noti a partire dall'Eocene, da 53-54 a 37-38 milioni circa di anni fa.
