==Classification==
The group is traditionally a [[superclass (biology)|superclass]], broken into three top-level groupings: [[Chondrichthyes]], or the cartilaginous fish; [[Placodermi]], an extinct [[clade]] of armored fish; and [[Teleostomi]], which includes the familiar classes of [[bony fish]], [[bird]]s, [[mammal]]s, [[reptile]]s, and [[amphibian]]s. Some classification systems have used the term [[Amphirhina]]. It is a sister group of the jawless craniates [[Agnatha]].

| غضروفماهیان ماهیان آروارهداری هستند که یک جفت باله و یک جفت [[سوراخ بینی]] دارند، پوستشان را فلس پوشانده و حفرههای قلبشان ردیفی است. اسکلت این ماهیان نه از استخوان بلکه از [[غضروف]] است. این رده به دو زیررده تقسیم میشود که عبارتند از [[نرمآبششداران]] <sup>Elasmobranchii</sup> (کوسه، سپرماهی، و پرتوماهی بزرگ) و هامسران <sup>Holocephali</sup> ([[موشماهی|موشماهیها]]).
| [[Chondrichthyes]] ''(cartilage-fish)'' or cartilaginous fishes are jawed fish with paired fins, paired [[nare]]s, scales, a heart with its chambers in series, and skeletons made of [[cartilage]] rather than [[bone]]. The class is divided into two subclasses: [[Elasmobranchii]] ([[shark]]s, [[Batoidea|ray]]s and [[skate]]s) and [[Holocephali]] ([[chimaera]]s, sometimes called ghost sharks, which are sometimes separated into their own class). Within the infraphylum Gnathostomata, cartilaginous fishes are distinct from all other jawed vertebrates, the extant members of which all fall into [[Teleostomi]].

| <sup>†</sup>[[Acanthodii]], or spiny sharks are a class of extinct fishes, sharing features with both [[bony fish|bony]] and [[cartilaginous fish]]es. In form they resembled sharks, but their [[Epidermis (skin)|epidermis]] was covered with tiny rhomboid platelets like the scales of [[holosteans]] ([[gar]]s, [[bowfin]]s). They may have been an independent phylogenetic branch of fishes, which had evolved from little-specialized forms close to Recent [[Chondrichthyes]]. Acanthodians did, in fact, have a cartilaginous [[skeleton]], but their fins had a wide, bony base and were reinforced on their anterior margin with a dentine spine. They are distinguished in two respects: they were the earliest known jawed [[vertebrate]]s, and they had stout [[Spine (zoology)|spines]] supporting their [[fin]]s, fixed in place and non-movable (like a [[shark]]'s [[dorsal fin]]). The acanthodians' jaws are presumed to have evolved from the first [[gill arch]] of some ancestral jawless fishes that had a gill skeleton made of pieces of jointed cartilage. The common name "spiny sharks" is really a misnomer for these early jawed fishes. The name was coined because they were superficially shark-shaped, with a streamlined body, paired fins, and a strongly upturned tail; stout bony spines supported all the fins except the tail - hence, "spiny sharks".

| [<!-- [Tetrapoda]] ''(four-feet)'' or tetrapods are the group of all four-limbed [[vertebrate]]s, including living and extinct [[amphibian]]s, [[reptile]]s, [[bird]]s, and [[mammal]]s. Amphibians today generally remain semi-aquatic, living the first stage of their lives as fish-like [[tadpole]]s. Several groups of tetrapods, such as the [[snakes]] and [[cetaceans]] have lost some or all of their limbs. And many tetrapods have returned to partially aquatic or (in the case of cetaceans and sirenians) fully aquatic lives, throughout the history of the group. The tetrapods evolved from the [[Sarcopterygii|lobe-finned fishes]] about 395 million years ago in the [[Devonian]].<ref>{{harvnb|Clack|2012}}</ref> The specific aquatic ancestors of the tetrapods, and the process by which land colonization occurred, remain unclear, and are areas of active research and debate among [[palaeontologists]] at present. -->
