Overview

Fish are, as we all know, aquatic, ectothermic scaled animals, precisely vertebrates. So what do we know about vertebrates? The name vertebrates is, generally speaking, a subphylum (taxonomic rank). The simplest classification of vertabrates is as following:

  • Amphibians, Amphibia (such as frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, etc.)
  • Birds, Aves
  • Mammals, Mammalia (dogs, cats, monkes and humans)
  • Reptiles, Reptilia (lizards, crocodiles, snakes)
  • Fish, Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes

The basic distinction of fish is that of their skeletal system tissue. There are jawed fish (Chondrichthyes) with a cartilage skeleton and bony fish (Osteichthyes). Now bony fish can be divided into two groups: ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii) and lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii).
