A family of tropical marine fish commonly known as toadfishes, characterized by large heads and wide mouths.
From scientific Latin, derived from Greek 'batrachos' (frog). The family name references the frog-like appearance of these fish, particularly their wide mouths and bulbous heads.
Toadfish (Batrachidae) make some of the loudest sounds underwater—their mating calls can actually interfere with military sonar, so these 'fish frogs' are unexpectedly powerful noise-makers!
