Fish with a skeleton made of bone are classified as bony fish, or Osteichthyes. This group includes a wide variety of species, such as salmon, trout, and goldfish. Bony fish possess a skeleton primarily composed of calcified bone, contrasting with cartilaginous fish like sharks and rays, which have skeletons made of cartilage. Bony fish are the most diverse group of vertebrates, making up a significant portion of all fish species.

goldfishes
The skeleton of jawless fish, such as lampreys and hagfish, is primarily made of cartilage rather than bone. Cartilage is a flexible and lightweight tissue that provides structure and support to these fish without the need for heavy bones.

No, skate fish are not classified as bony fish; they belong to the group known as elasmobranchs, which includes rays and sharks. Skates have a cartilaginous skeleton, meaning their bodies are made of cartilage rather than bone. This distinguishes them from bony fish, which have a skeleton primarily composed of bone.
Yes, salmon have a skeleton made primarily of bone. Like most bony fish, their skeleton consists of a backbone and various bones that provide structure and support. However, they also possess cartilage in certain areas, such as their gill structures and fins, similar to other fish species. Overall, their bony skeleton is a key feature of their anatomy.
No bony fish are not extinct. Bony fish are fish with a bone skeleton unlike Cartilaginous fish which heave a cartilage skeleton and jawless fish which don't have a skeleton. -Erin 11
Ray-finned fish have "true" bone skeletons, where as the cartlaginous fish have...cartilage instead of bone as their skeletons.
These are generally called "cartilaginous fish." Their skeleton is made of cartilage (that firm but wiggly structure inside your earlobe and nose) instead of bone. Examples include sharks and sting rays.
The taxonomic classification of fish that have hard, bony skeletons is teleosts.
No they are cartilaginous fish, meaning that they have cartilage instead of bones for their skeleton.
