Ck 12: Life Science: Bony Fish

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] There are almost 27,000 species of bony fish, which are divided into two classes: ray-finned fish and lobe-finned fish. Most bony fish are ray-finned. These thin fins consist of webs of skin over flexible spines. Lobe-finned fish, on the other hand, have fins that resemble stump-like appendages.
