Today fish are advanced organisms. Started to develop over 500millions of years ago.
Then they develop bones and their skeleton. Fish didn’t have jaws and there are 4
main types of fish. Jawless fish have a very hard time to eat and survive.
Fish with cartilage are not advanced and they have real bones . Cartilaginous includes
sharks,ryas,and skates. Sharks are the ultimate hunters in the ocean. Rays are not the
aggressive they are bottom feeders. Rays and skates have developed large wings that
allowed them to gild through the water using their tale.
There are two groups lobe finned and ray finned. Lobe finned are an example of
lungfish and coelacanths . Then 30 years ago coelacanths long extinct
Then there are ray finned. It includes goldfish,tuna,and trout. Gold fish has a complex
skeleton build for moving. Some fish are very strong. Other fish like tuna move
extremely fast through the water.
