Collichthys is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. The fishes in the genus are found in the Western Pacific Ocean off the coasts of China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam.
==Taxonomy== Collichthys was first proposed as a genus in 1860 by the German-born British herpetologist and ichthyologist Albert Günther with Sciaena lucida, a species described in 1844 by Sir John Richardson from "China Seas", being designated as the type species, either in 1867 by Günther or by David Starr Jordan and Carl H. Eigenmann in 1889. This genus has been placed in the subfamily Otolithinae by some workers, but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sciaenidae which it places in the order Acanthuriformes.
