Chondrichthyes
Chondrichthyes Class of vertebrate animals characterized by a cartilaginous
endoskeleton, a skin covered by
placoid scales, the structure of their fin rays, and the absence of a bony operculum (see
GILL COVER), lungs, and
swim-bladder. It includes the subclasses
Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) and
Holocephali (ghostfish). The group extends back to the Upper
Devonian. It is not clear whether the cartilaginous skeleton is a primitive feature or the result of young fish reaching reproductive age prematurely, before a bony skeleton develops.
