=== Relationships ===
While the family Esocidae traditionally only contained the genus Esox, recent genetic and paleontological research have recovered  ''Novumbra'' and ''Dallia'' as members of the family Esocidae, being closer related to ''Esox'' than ''Umbra''. ''Umbra'' is the only remaining extant species in Umbridae.<ref name=":0" /> Various fossils have been described as members of Esociformes and are placed on the following tree accordingly.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Near |first=Thomas J. |last2=Thacker |first2=Christine E. |date=2024-04-18 |title=Phylogenetic Classification of Living and Fossil Ray-Finned Fishes (Actinopterygii) |url=https://bioone.org/journals/bulletin-of-the-peabody-museum-of-natural-history/volume-65/issue-1/014.065.0101/Phylogenetic-Classification-of-Living-and-Fossil-Ray-Finned-Fishes-Actinopterygii/10.3374/014.065.0101.full |journal=Bulletin of the Peabody Museum of Natural History |volume=65 |issue=1 |doi=10.3374/014.065.0101 |issn=0079-032X}}</ref>{{clade |style=font-size:90%;line-height:90%;
