  6. SUPERCLASS AGNATHA • Jawless - feed through sucking mouthparts • Gill openings are pores, not slits • No paired fins • Silurian/early Devonian periods (440-400 MYA) • 3 classes • Myxini (hagfishes) • Cephalaspidimorphi (lampreys) • Pteraspidimorphi (extinct) Courtesy: tolweb.org

  7. SUPERCLASS AGNATHA Class Myxini Order Myxiniformes (hagfishes) • most primitive vertebrates • marine only • no larval stage (yet found) • degenerate eyes – no lens or iris • cartilaginous skeleton • no lateral line • one semicircular canal • prominent barbels • no separate dorsal fin

  8. SUPERCLASS AGNATHA Class Myxini Order Myxiniformes (hagfishes) • scavengers (NOT parasites)

  9. SUPERCLASS AGNATHA Class Myxini Order Myxiniformes (hagfishes) • structurally but not functionally hermaphroditic (function as male OR female at a given time) • no osmoregulation: body fluids at same salinity as ocean • ~ 40 spp. today • economic importance - leather and food source in Asia

  10. SUPERCLASS AGNATHA Class Cephalaspidomorphi Order Petromyzontiformes (lamprey) • developed vertebrae • no paired fins; dorsal fin(s) • well developed eyes • gill pouches • two semicircular canals; single nostril

  11. SUPERCLASS AGNATHA Class Cephalaspidomorphi Order Petromyzontiformes (lamprey) • long larval stage (ammocoetes) • ~ 30 species - anadromous and freshwater • parasitic forms: larvae metamorphose, reproduce as parasites • non-parasitic forms: skip feeding stage • non-parasitic forms (detritus-feeders) develop from parasitic forms only in fresh water

  12. SUPERCLASS AGNATHA Class Cephalaspidomorphi Order Petromyzontiformes (lamprey) • Economic importance • food source (Europe, Asia) • Great Lakes fisheries • medical research

  14. SUPERCLASS GNATHOSTOMATA • jawed • gills are slits • paired fins • Silurian (400 MYA) • 4 classes • Placodermi (extinct) • Chondrichthyes • Sarcopterygii • Actinopterygii (rayfins, higher bony fishes)

  15. SUPERCLASS GNATHOSTOMATA Class Placodermi • Extinct • jaws first appear • gill arches first appear • paired fins • bony plates Courtesy: http://universe-review.ca

  16. SUPERCLASS GNATHOSTOMATA Class Chondrichthyes Courtesy: http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk • Chimaeras, sharks, skates & rays • cartilaginous • teeth not fused to jaws • ‘placental’ to oviparous reproduction • embryos are sometimes encased • gestation up to 2 yrs Courtesy: http://www.jaxshells.org

  18. SUPERCLASS GNATHOSTOMATA Class Chondrichthyes Subclass Holocephali Order Chimaeriformes (chimaeras) • typically in shallow to mid-depth • water • all marine • Cretaceous ratfish

  19. SUPERCLASS GNATHOSTOMATA Class Chondrichthyes Subclass Holocephali Order Chimaeriformes (chimaeras) • gills in four pairs • spiracle absent • skin naked in adults • cloaca absent • males have pelvic intromittent organs (claspers) • two dorsal fins, first erectile with a spine and poison gland • diphycercal tail (symmetrical-tapering-whiplike)

  20. SUPERCLASS GNATHOSTOMATA Class Chondrichthyes Subclass Holocephali Order Chimaeriformes (chimaeras) • upper jaw/mouth fused to cranium • teeth are grinding plates elephantfish, plownose
