There are three classes of fish:

• Class Agnatha (jawless fish) - these primitive fish have no jaws, do not have paired fins, and have a skelton made of cartilage (not bone). Examples: hagfish, lampreys.
• Class Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) - these fish have a skeleton made of cartilage, paired fins, and no swim bladder. Their skin has tooth-like scales (called denticles). Fertilization of eggs is internal. Examples: sharks, skates, rays.
• Class Osteichyes (bony fish) -these fish have a skeleton made of bone and paired fins. They also have teeth that are fixed onto the upper jaw. They have a swim bladder (an air filled sac that helps them with buoyancy) that opens into the gullet. Bony fish do not have to swim to breathe (to push water through the gills). Most fish are bony fish.
