'''Acuariidae''' is a family of spirurian nematodes. Like all nematodes, they have neither a circulatory nor a respiratory system. They are the only family in superfamily '''Acuarioidea''', and number about 40 genera and 300 species, most of which are parasites of birds.<ref name = hallan2007>Hallan (2007)</ref>
==Genera== Several genera, particularly in the Seuratiinae, are monotypic.<ref name = hallan2007 /> At least some of them are liable to be invalid.
