Key details are provided on the characteristics of each group, including that jawless fishes have skeletal elements but no jaws, cartilaginous fishes such as sharks have skeletons made of cartilage and possess placoid scales and jaws, and bony fishes make up the largest group and have bony skeletons, fins, scales, and gills.
