Remarkable Fishes Discuss: phylogeny, distribution, size, prey and predators, reproduction, growth, brain size, other traits. Myxine glutinosa Latimeria chalumnae Rhincodon typus Engraulis ringens Mola mola
7
Need To Know Based on common ancestry, the 33,000 known species of fishes are classified into 6 Classes, about 60 Orders and about 500 Families. All fishes and tetrapods had a common ancestor about 600 million years ago; tetrapods (about 27,000 species) split off from lobe-finned fishes about 400 million years ago. Know the Classes of fishes and their main characteristics
