1
Chordates and Fish
2
What is a chordate? Members of the KINGDOM ANIMALIA and the PHYLUM CHORDATA They have a dorsal, hollow nerve cord and a notocord
3
Chordates have ●pharyngeal pouches (become gills) ●Tail - extends beyond anus Most chordates are vertebrates (SUBPHYLUM VERTEBRATA)
4
Chordates that are NOT vertebrates: Sea Squirts or Tunicates

Chordate Anatomy
8
Consider this.... All vertebrates are chordates................. But not all chordates are vertebrates. NO WAY!!!!
9
What is a vertebrate? -Animals with a backbone (and endoskeleton) -Have spinal cord (dorsal, hollow nerve cord) -Front end of spinal cord develops a brain
11
Crash Course in Chordates - 12 minutes
12
Vertebrate Classes ● Jawless Fish (lamprey, hagfish) ● Cartilage Fish (sharks, rays…) ● Bony Fish (salmon, catfish, goldfish…) ● Amphibians (frogs, salamanders…) ● Reptiles (lizards, turtles…) ● Birds (sparrows, hawks…) ● Mammals (humans, whales, cats..)
13
What are Fish? * Anything with gills, scales, and fins… ● 1st Fish were jawless ● Devonian Period - "Age of Fishes” Fossil of a devonian fish with jaws and armored plates https://www.youtube.com/wat ch?v=n4h2UWPyYPM
14
Form & Function 1. Circulation
15
Fish have a two chambered heart – blood is passed over the gills where it picks up oxygen
16
2. Respiration ● Water passes over GILLS, oxygen is added ● Some fish have gill covers – OPERCULUM ● Some fish have special organs to serve as lungs (Lungfish)
17
3. Excretion ●Homeostasis: maintaining water balance ●Salt water fish tend to lose water ●Freshwater fish tend to gain water *This is why you can’t put a salt water fish in a fresh water tank *The salmon can do both
18
4. The Nervous System Response - Cerebrum - thinking, voluntary activities - Cerebellum - coordination - Medulla Oblongata - functions of internal organs - Lateral Line System - senses vibrations
19
Other Fish Adaptations A. Swim Bladder – maintains buoyancy (like a balloon) Sharks do not have a swim bladder, if they stop swimming, they sink.
20
B. FINS
21
C. SCALES Scales cover and protect the fish Mucus on scales help fish swim
23
5. Reproduction Spawning – fish lay eggs that are fertilized externally Some fish bear live young This 1 minute video shows a lemon shark give birth to live young. Some sharks lay eggs.

26
TYPES OF FISH Jawless fish: lamprey and hagfish Lamprey is a parasite, it attaches to other fish and sucks their blood Hagfish is a scavenger, it lives in the ocean and is known for its slimy secretions
29
Cartilage Fish Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Vertebrata CLASS CHONDRICHTHYES Sharks and Rays
32
Manta Rays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =yfgJx-ShRGI Flying Rays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =cqNxco4xcpI
33
SHARKS *The pectoral fins of sharks do not move * Sharks do not have an operculum or a swim bladder *sharks will sink if they stop swimming
38
Basking Shark is a filter feeder
