Hagfish and lampreys.
Hagfish and lampreys have gills. They are the only living members of a primitive group of fish without jaws. They have round sucker-like mouths.
This would seem to describe the hagfish and lampreys. The description fails by saying that they resemble fish. Hagfish and lampreys are classified as jawless fish. They are fish, none-the-less.
Lampreys and hagfishes are the only jawless vertebrates to survive today. They both have a round mouth and for this reason are often referred to as cyclostomes.
The earliest vertebrates were probably similar to lampreys or hagfish.
The only extant jawless fish are hagfish and lampreys.
Hagfish and lampreys are apart of Agnatha which means jawless fish. Hagfish are a parasite fish but can be free swimming. Both jawless fish will feed on carcasses on the bottom of the seafloor.

n. 1. a class of eel-shaped chordates with a cartilaginous skeleton lacking jaws, scales, and pelvic fins. Among these are the lampreys and hagfishes. There are some extinct forms.
Hagfish are cartilaginous, meaning their skeletons are made from cartilage. FALSE what the person just wrote is wrong. Hagfish are neither cartilaginous or bony fish. Although they have cartilage in their bodies, they belong to a third category called Jawless fish. Jawless, cartilaginous, and bony are the 3 types of fish.
Agnatha are ancient jawless fish that include lampreys and hagfish. They are also probably the earliest vertebrates and have ectoderm.
