Assuming you mean the Agnatha group of fish... They don't have movable jaws, like other animals and fish. They rely on a row of sharp teeth to slice into the flesh of their 'host' - then simply swallow the shredded flesh.

Give you some example of jawless fish?

Most fish are not jawless. There is a small group of very primitive fish called Jawless fish (Agnatha). However, they make up a very small proportion (<1%) of the fish species on earth. Jawless fish are things like lamprey and hagfish. All other fish, like trout, salmon, tuna, sharks, rays, cichlids, goldfish, etc, etc, have jaws. See the related link for more information on the primitive jawless fish.
