Sharks, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

What is chondrichthyes symmetry?

Chondrichthyes, a class of cartilaginous fish that includes sharks, rays, and skates, typically exhibit bilateral symmetry. This means their bodies can be divided into two mirror-image halves along a single plane through the midline. This symmetry is advantageous for streamlined movement in water, allowing these animals to be efficient swimmers and predators. Additionally, many species may show some degree of asymmetry in specific structures, like the position of their eyes or fins, which can aid in their ecological adaptations.

Why do bony fish float while sharks s ink if they stop swimming?

Bony fish or Teleosts have something called a swim bladder that can be filled with gas to give them neutral buoyancy in the water. Sharks and rays, (Chondrichthyes) are cartilaginous fish do not have swim bladders and 'fly' through the water using the lift they gain from their large pectoral fins and asymmetrical heteroceral tail. Like an aeroplane, if they stop moving they lose altitude and sink.
