How does the endoskeleton of a bony fish compare with that of other classes of fishyes?
The endoskeleton of bony fish, or osteichthyans, is primarily composed of bone tissue, providing structural support and facilitating movement. In contrast, cartilaginous fish, like sharks and rays, possess a flexible cartilage-based skeleton, which allows for greater agility and reduced weight. Additionally, bony fish typically have a more complex structure with features like swim bladders for buoyancy, whereas cartilaginous fish lack this adaptation. Overall, the bony skeleton offers advantages in terms of strength and buoyancy control compared to the cartilaginous skeleton of other fish classes.
