Fish Characteristics

The circulatory systems of bony fish, whose bodies are covered with a kind of mucus to prevent water from entering the body, are a closed system. Fish such as anchovy, trout, carp and sea bass, which are also considered as protein sources and are frequently consumed by humans, are members of this class.
Cartilaginous Fish

The hearts of cartilaginous fish, which reproduce by internal fertilization and whose body temperatures are highly variable, also consist of two chambers. Fish such as shark, crayfish and stingray are members of this class.
