What class is the fish in?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Fish belong to the class Osteichthyes, which includes bony fish. This class is one of the two main groups of fish found in the animal kingdom, with the other being the class Chondrichthyes, which includes cartilaginous fish like sharks and rays.

Answer 3

Fish are far too diverse to fit into a single class: the taxonomic record lists at least 12 different classes, all under the phylum Chordata (vertebrates).

However, the largest taxonomic concentration of fish can be found in the superclass Osteichthyes, which include all bony fish.

Answer 4

Fish are separated by three basic categories. * The lamprey and hagfish belong to the class Agnatha * Sharks and other fish with cartilage skeletons are in the class Chondrichthyes. * Most bony fish are in the class Osteichthyes.

Answer 5

A fish falls into its own category. It is not a mammal because it only lives in the water, it is not a amphibian, and not a reptile because it can only live in the water.......NOT land. If it lived on land, the fish would die:(
