Fish are aquatic vertebrate animals[1][2] commonly defined by the presence of a cranium,[3][4] fins for locomotion in place of limbs,[1][5] and gills to breathe underwater.[5] Of all vertebrates, they are the oldest, most structurally simple, and most wide-ranging in terms of species,[2] with 24,000 to at least 30,000 known to humans.[1][2]
Because of their ubiquity to marine ecosystems,[1] fish are the most economically significant aquatic life-form and are a vital food source for millions of people around the world.[2] Despite challenges to classifying such a diverse group,[2] they are traditionally divided into bony fishes, which have true bony skeletons;[1][2] jawless fishes, which are the most primitive of fishes but are rejected as vertebrates by some scientists;[2][4] and cartilaginous fishes, which have skeletons made of cartilage,[1][2] with sharks being a prominent example.[2]
