Fish swimming around underwater.

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] they 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 cartilaginous fishes, which have skeletons made of cartilage;[1][2] bony fishes, which have true bony skeletons;[1][2] and jawless fishes, which are the most primitive of fishes but are rejected as vertebrates by some scientists.[2][4] Sharks are a prominent group of cartilaginous fishes.[2]

History

In the 870s, Eivor Varinsdottir caught a variety of fish in order to fulfill requests for the Fishing Hut at Ravensthorpe and to give as offerings at certain altars, such as Nymdesfelda and Elisdon Altar.[6]
