Sharks belong to cartilaginous fish. (Chondrichthyes)
No, sharks and whales belong to different groups. Sharks are fish and belong to the group Chondrichthyes, while whales are mammals and belong to the group Cetacea. They are both classified under the superclass Osteichthyes, which includes all bony fish, but they diverged into separate evolutionary paths long ago.
Rays are a type of cartelagenous fish, and are thus a member of the phylum Chordata.
Sturgeon belongs to the class Actinopterygii, which includes ray-finned fish.
Fish are a complex group of animals that are not all simply lumped into once class. There are four basic groups; Bony Fish, Lobe finned fish, Cartelagenous fish and jawless fish, but they are all separate classes, all they have in common is the fact that they are in the phylum Chordata. This strange system stems from the fact that the word fish is a common name for swimming animals that have a certain look to them, but doesnt nessesarily represent any real genetic similarities.
Jawless fish are the oldest group of fish, belonging to the class Agnatha. Within this class, they are further divided into two orders: the Petromyzontiformes (lampreys) and the Myxiniformes (hagfish).
Class Chondrichthyes
Stingrays belong to the class Chondrichthyes, which includes cartilaginous fish such as rays, skates, and sharks.
The only fish that do belong to the group are sharks, rays and chimaeras. All others do not.

Sharks belong to the vertebrate group known as Fish. Specifically, they belong to the vertebrate group known as Chondrichthyes - all sharks and rays - which have skeletons of cartilage rather than bone.
The common class name for sharks and rays (they both belong to the same class, the Cartilaginous Fish), is Chondrichthyes.
No because sharks belong to the mammal family
Sharks belong in the fish family and resultingly the largest fish in the world is the basking shark. (A+ free swimmers)
yes
Sharks belong to the phylum Chordata, which is the same phylum that includes other vertebrates such as mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Within the phylum Chordata, sharks specifically belong to the class Chondrichthyes, which includes cartilaginous fish like sharks, skates, and rays.
Fish belong to the Chordata phylum.
