Teleostei is one of three infraclasses in class Actinopterygii, the ray-finned fishes. The yellow perch ( Perca flavescens) is a species of Perch found in the United States and Canada, where it is often referred to by the shortform Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates The Actinopterygii (the plural form of Actinopterygius) comprise the class of the ray-finned fishes. ---- Osteoglossomorpha is a group of Teleostei fishes that contains Osteoglossiformes Notopteroidei Elopomorpha is a group of Teleostei fishes that contains Elopiformes Elopidae Megalopidae Clupeiformes is the order of ray-finned fish that includes the Herring family Clupeidae, and the Anchovy family Engraulidae. Ostariophysi is the second-largest Superorder of Fish. Members of this superorder are called ostariophysans. Protacanthopterygii is the Taxon Superorder of bony ray-finned Fish. Aulopiformes is an order of Ray-finned fish consisting of thirteen living families of marine fish Myctophiformes is an order of Ray-finned fish consisting of two families of deep-sea marine fish most notably the highly abundant Lanternfishes ( Myctophidae Lampriformes (also spelt Lampridiformes) are an order of Ray-finned fish that includes about 50 living species of deep sea fishes including the Opahs The beardfishes are a small family ( Polymixiidae) of deep-sea marine Ray-finned fish named for their pair of long Hyoid barbels Paracanthopterygii is a Superorder of Fishes Members of this superorder are called paracanthopterygians. The beardfishes are a small family ( Polymixiidae) of deep-sea marine Ray-finned fish named for their pair of long Hyoid barbels Acanthopterygii (meaning "spiny finned one" is the name of a Superorder of fish in the class Actinopterygii. The Actinopterygii (the plural form of Actinopterygius) comprise the class of the ray-finned fishes. This diverse group, which arose in the Triassic period [1], includes 20,000 extant species in about 40 orders. The Triassic is a geologic period and system that extends from about 251 to 199 Ma (million years ago The other two infraclasses, Holostei and Chondrostei, are paraphyletic. Holostei are Bony fish that show primitive characteristics There are eight species divided among two orders the Amiiformes represented by a single living species Chondrostei are primarily cartiliginous fish showing some Ossification. In Phylogenetics, a group of organisms is said to be paraphyletic if the group contains its most recent common ancestor but does not contain all [2]

On the basis of biomass as well as of species count, teleosts are the typical vertebrates, and all other vertebrates are exceptions to the teleost rule. Biomass, in Ecology, is the mass of living biological organisms in a given area or Ecosystem at a given time See Actinopterygii for a complete list of orders. The Actinopterygii (the plural form of Actinopterygius) comprise the class of the ray-finned fishes.

Characteristics

Teleosts have a movable maxilla and premaxilla and corresponding modifications in the jaw musculature. This article is about the Mammal maxilla For Arthropod maxillae see Mouthparts; for Insect maxillae in particular see Insect mouthparts The premaxilla is a pair of small Cranial bones at the very tip of the jaws of many animals usually bearing Teeth, but not always These modifications make it possible for teleosts to protrude their jaws outwards from the mouth. [2][3] The caudal fin is homocercal, meaning the upper and lower lobes are about equal in size. The Anatomy of Fish is primarily governed by the physical characteristics of Water, which is much denser than air holds a relatively small amount of dissolved The spine ends at the caudal peduncle, distinguishing this group from those in which the spine extends into the upper lobe of the caudal fin. The Anatomy of Fish is primarily governed by the physical characteristics of Water, which is much denser than air holds a relatively small amount of dissolved The Anatomy of Fish is primarily governed by the physical characteristics of Water, which is much denser than air holds a relatively small amount of dissolved [2]

Systematics and evolution

The first fossils of teleosts date back to early Triassic. The Triassic is a geologic period and system that extends from about 251 to 199 Ma (million years ago Teleosts are usually divided into twelve superorders:
