All of the true fish have backbones, because they are all vertebrates, and are classed as fish partly on the basis that they have a backbone.

Jawless fish (Agnatha - hagfish, lamprey) do not have a true backbone, but they do have a stiffening rod that runs the length of the fish and serves the same purpose. It can be thought of as a primitive back bone.

So, to answer your question; all true fish have backbones.

This of course excludes things like Starfish and Jellyfish; these are not actually fish, and do not have backbones.
