The Sharks, like the Raias, have their mouth furnished with jaws, and for this reason they are classified in the same group of Cartilaginous Fishes, as distinct from the Lampreys and the Sturgeons.
The first great group of Cartilaginous Fishes is divided into three sections, which make in reality four families, as the second section comprises two.
These are true Fishes, principally of the group termed Chondropterygii, or Cartilaginous Fishes, by Cuvier.
The Chondropterygii, or Cartilaginous fishes, are divided into three orders, viz.
In the second division of cartilaginous fishes, or sturgeons, the gills are free, as in the ordinary fishes.
They therefore unite the character of cartilaginous fishes with a character peculiar to themselves, and in which we see pretty clear vestiges of the pre- existent crustaceous form.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cartilaginous fishes" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
