Teleost: Anatomy, Evolution and phylogeny & Physiology

Teleostei (/ˌtɛliˈɒstiaɪ/; from Ancient Greek τέλειος (téleios) 'complete' and ὀστέον (ostéon) 'bone'), members of which are known as teleosts (/ˈtɛliɒsts, ˈtiːli-/), is, by far, the largest group of ray-finned fishes (class Actinopterygii), with 96% of all extant species of fish. The Teleostei, which is variously considered a division or an infraclass…
