All belong to the large order [[Perciformes]], or perch-like fishes, and in fact the word ''bass'' comes from Middle English ''bars'', meaning "perch."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.bartleby.com/61/51/B0105100.html | title=Bass<sup>1</sup> | work=American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition}}</ref> |
