There are many families of fish, but all belong to the phylum Chordata. That is about as specific as you can get in terms of encompassing ALL fish. However, MOST fish, called are classed in Osteichthyes(Bony Fish), Sarcopterygii (lobe finned fish) and Chondrichthyes(sharks, rays, skates, etc), and a hundred or so species of primitive jawless fishes.
Sharks are a type of cartilaginous fish, that is their skeleton is made of cartilage rather than bone. They belong to the vertebrate subphylum of chondrichthyes.
The only fish that do belong to the group are sharks, rays and chimaeras. All others do not.
the name of a group of sharks is a school or shoal.
Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus, as well as other Chondrichthyes such as the holocephalid eugenedontidans.
I am not an expert on Octipi sharks are more my thing but i think that it is a cephalopod
They are fishes. Not a MAMMALS!!!
Sharks are not mammals.
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.
Sharks belong in the fish family and resultingly the largest fish in the world is the basking shark. (A+ free swimmers)
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.
The only fish that do belong to the group are sharks, rays and chimaeras. All others do not.
Chondrichthyes
Sharks are a type of cartilaginous fish, that is their skeleton is made of cartilage rather than bone. They belong to the vertebrate subphylum of chondrichthyes.
The only fish that do belong to the group are sharks, rays and chimaeras. All others do not.
Sharks have induvidual names like The hammer head or the great white shark
No because sharks belong to the mammal family
because it is a fish that swims under water and they are called fish!
