There are two types of fish bony fishes and cartilaginous fishes

Bony Fish

This category of fish is also referred to as Teleostomi. It is also considered the largest class in Phylum Chordata. These fish are widely recognized because of the following characteristics:


Their endoskeleton is entirely made of bone

They have anterior tip mouth opening

They can either be fresh water or marine water fishes

Their exoskeleton is made up of cycloids (thin bony plates), aligned based on whether the outer edges are spiny or smooth

They have an operculum on either side of their gills

They possess an air bladder that also performs hydrostatic functions

Their tail fin is homocercal

They fertilize their eggs externally

Some of the fish in this category include flying fish, globe fish, sea horses and eels.


Cartilaginous Fish

This category of fish is also referred to as Elasmobranchi. In this category you will primarily find marine fishes. Therefore, you should not find any fresh water fish in this group. They generally possess the following characteristics:


Their endoskeleton is primarily made of cartilage

Their exoskeleton is made of placoid (very small denticles coated with lots of sharp enamel)

The buccal cavity of these fishes is ventrally positioned

The position of their tail finds is heterocercal

On either side, they have 5 gills that are overly exposed, so they do not have an operculum

Their mode of fertilization is through internal mechanisms
