The anglerfish are ray-finned fish in the order Lophiiformes (). Both the order's common and scientific name comes from the characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified dorsal fin ray acts as a lure for prey (akin to a human angler, and likened to a crest or "lophos"). The modified fin ray, with the very tip being the esca and the length of the structure the illicium, is adapted to attract specific prey items across the families of anglerfish by using different luring methods.

Los lófidos (Lophiidae) son una familia de peces lofiformes. Sus especies se distribuyen por todos los océanos del planeta, incluido el mar Mediterráneo. ​ Su nombre procede del griego λόφος, que significa "cresta".
