Best Answer

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Subphylum: Vertebrata

Then there are three other classes they can be in.

Agnatha: Jawless fish, such as a lamprey

Chrondrichthyes: Fish whose skeletons are made of cartilage, such as a shark

Osteichthyes: Fish whose skeleton is composed of bone, like bass.

Osteichthyes' two sub classes are

Ray-finned: like a catfish

Lobe-finned: like a lungfish

Kingdom: Animalia (Animals)

Phylum: Chordata (notochord)

Subphylum: Vertebrata (animals with back bones)

Then, there are three major classes.

  • Agnatha (jawless fish such as the hagfish and lampreys)
  • Chrondrichthyes (fish whose skeleton is made of cartilage such as sharks, rays and skates)
  • Osteichthyes (bony fish; skeleton is composed mostly of bone such as bass, perch, catfish, and flounder)

The majority of fish belong to the osteichtyes. The study of fish is call ichtyology.
