Answer:

Fishes are typically divided into three groups: superclass Agnatha (jawless fishes), class Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes), and superclass Osteichthyes (bony fishes).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hagfish are very primitive fish.

Lampreys

Like hagfish, lampreys also lack scales, but they have fins and a partial backbone.

Ray-finned fish include the majority of living fish species, including goldfish, tuna, salmon, perch, and cod.

Lobe-finned fish are currently far fewer in number than ray-finned fish.
