Lampreys are jawless fishes with cartilaginous skeletons. Most lampreys are parasites on other fishes and are marine animals. A few lamprey species live in freshwater. All sharks live in the sea and have cartilaginous skeletons. Most sharks are predators, but a few are filter feeders on marine plankton.

Is a ray a jawless fish?

Jawless fish are included in subphylum Vertebrata, but most jawless fish do not have whole vertebrae. Hagfish, for instance, do not have vertebrae at all, and lampreys have only reduced vertebrae. So, no, most jawless fish are not vertebrates.
