The upper jaw of a cartilaginous fish is not attached like it is in bony fish, although both sets of jaws work in the same way. Bony fish have a protective bony plate that covers the gills. Cartilaginous fish lack this covering but have their own way of protecting the gills.

Bonier fishes tend to have more erotic desires than cartilaginous fishes hence the term 'bony' coming from the English slang for an erect penis, 'boner'.

The fishes are also more diverse in their sexuality, as they have such high sex drives. For this reason, bony fishes are generally found to be bisexual, and so do not often reproduce. Eggs can also be mutated for the same reason.

The more provocative bony fish will have more elaborate scales, for example, in high colour, in order to attract a mate, though this is not always the case, as some prefer to remain as a 'lone shark' (excuse the pun).

Anyway, hope this has helped!

Bony fish have an advantage over cartiganeous fish because they can move faster, & they have a better structure with more support in their body structure.

What is vertebrates and invertebrates fish?

It is more the other way around, in that the question is better asked as, "How many fish are categorized as vertebrates". The answer to that question would be "almost all fish are vertebrates". Because most all fish do have vertebral columns (backbones/spines), internal skeletons, brains and central nervous systems located in craniums (heads) with sensory organs at the fore sections of their bodies. There are some non-bony fish, like hagfish, that are classified sometimes as invertebrates by some, but more often are classified as vertebrates even though they do not have backbones. They could technically be invertebrates. But they have the other characteristics of vertebrates and a very close genetic make up to lampreys, that are vertebrates.
