- 10. 3.) CARTILAGINOUS FISH • Cartilaginous fish that have skeletons primarily composed of cartilage. They can be contrasted with the Osteichthyes or bony fishes. • The mouth is often located underneath the head.

- 14. 5.) LOBE-FINNED BONY FISH • A diverse taxonomic group of fish that have skeletons primarily composed of bone tissue. • Can be contrasted with the cartilaginous fish ,which have skeletons primarily composed of cartilage. • The group Osteichthyes, is divided into the ray finned fish(Actinopterygii), and lobe- finned fish (Sarcopterygii).
