Evolution Of Fish Research Paper
Most people are curious if human bodies are similar to other animal parts. Not only Charles Darwin brandished a new perspective of how animals are naturally existent, but also opened more questions if humanity is similar to most or all other species. Evolutionarily, majority of the animals on this planet have extinct and later evolved into the similar ancestry of an animal with unique features and characteristic. Skeletal, muscle and cranial nerve patterns of the common animal are somewhat consistent since millions of years. Since the beginning of the creation of Earth, millions of organisms and species have branched throughout existence from invertebrates to the first mammal. Still today, there are countless species that haven't been discovered

yet in ecological environments. There have been some of the dangerous species that were once alive and became extinct in the early periods of time. Before there was meat eating dinosaurs and gigantic insects the size of human beings, there lived fish with gigantic teeth that lived in the depths of the sea.
The most primary and sufficient importance of evolution in early periods of time was the start of first life. The Paleozoic era was the vertebrae evolution from fish to amphibians. It's the transition from the sea to land, with lizards the same homogenous traits as the fish. The fish has been the very first fully preserved specimens. There are a variety of fish that evolved before they transitioned to amphibians. Its not likely that most of the reptiles today still have the same embryo phases as the common tadpole with fish features that are able to help them live underwater for long periods of time. Most amphibians and reptiles with scaly armor have the correlation of ancestral skeletal features millions of years ago. The evolution of fish is a critical example of how other animals can also relate regarding to natural selection, genetics and skeletal primaries. From the Precambrian to late Devonian period, also known as "the age of fish", a little during the Precambrian ages, the first fish related to spiders were skeletal. The Trilobites, Arthropods, and faunas existed 15 million years
ago.
There are five common classifications of fish: acanthodians, Placoderms, lobe-finned fish, Cartilaginous, ray finned fish Similar to controversies whether or not giant dinosaurs are a myth; their trace fossils and skeletons are evidences of their existence. Fossilized scales and spines of early fishes reside in ancient rocks. There are a variety of fish with multiple functions and characteristsics that are unique to other fish. Even though some fish have disadvantages as well as advantages, some later became extinct and replaced with modern fish. Most of these modern fish live the deep ocean today, still maintaining their ancestral habitat of the Cambrian fish.
Ostracoderms were the first fish to evolve during the late Cambrian period. Studies showed that teeth were the element of evolution. Pre-boned fish were the primary fish before the ones with teeth. Ostracoderms were the first fish of Agnatha that were covered in armor and scales, and were jawless. This role in the sea was to eat other organisms smaller and they resided in fresh waters. They kept the environment clean because of the bacteria they would feed off of in the water. Even though most of them weren’t hierarchal in the food chain, many of their hard, skeletal bodies molded as they died off over the years. There are many fossils found in all parts of the world because of their indestructible physique. The first vertebrate fishes were the Ostracoderms, jawless and resided in fresh water during the late Cambrian period. Ostracoderms, were 30cm (1 ft) long. Lampreys and Hagfishes were believed to descend from the ostracoderms, placed in the classification of Agnatha. Studies have found their cartilage bones in fossils, and learned their habitat existed during the Paleozoic era. Also, Ostracoderms were the first primitive vertebrates ever to be recorded.
Later, another fish evolved into Placoderms, which was seen as fish with teeth in the Devonian period. They lived from the subliminal to the Devonian period; Dunkeloseus were the first super predator vertebrae that preyed on other animals. These fish were predatory, larger than the average shark, and constantly roamed the perimeters of the ocean, eating smaller fish to survive. They were part of the dinichthyidae, a family of large, carnivorous creatures, and fossils were found in Morocco, North American and Europe. They were 20 ft long and were a ton. Most placoderms were bottom dwellers, roaming in the deep areas. The Dunkleosteus gained popularity by its tremendous size and ferocious appearance, that they were listed as one of the most terrifying prehistoric sea monsters. Their exterior is heavily armored on their bodies, and known to be powerful swimmers, but swim slower to other fish. They have two plates as bony teeth that they would use to eat other fish, which passes their species as carnivorous. Their jaws were mighty powerful, and could puncture through dermal armor. With their high bite forces, they’re one of the most threatening predators in the sea. Alternatively, there have been ten types of species related to the Dunkleoseus, From large to small, most of these fish also ate smaller prey in regards to their sharp bony teeth and gigantic size in the depths of the ocean.
Another fish that pivots the evolutionary biology of other species is the.Lobe-finned fish. The Lobe-finned fish were significant because of the lobes in their fins. The lobes in their gills were made to gulp air as they reach their shore, being closer to land compared to other primary vertebrates The Lobe-finned fish was less provocative compared to the Dunkleoseus, and traveled in parts of land that later evolved into the Tetrapod. Lobe-finned fish became one of the most successful revolutionary fish because of the diverse groups, like the Lower Permian and Carboniferous. The lobe-finned fish was found 400 million years ago and was significant because it was believed to be the closest link the first mammals that appeared on the continental crust.. There have been species of fish that are related to the Lobe-finned, and is one of the common aspects of life in the sea.
The cartilaginous fish first evolved in the early Devonian, and they were significant because they later evolved to amphibians, and later became reptiles. Unlike the Dunkeloosue, the cartilaginous is has an external structure similar to how sharks, manta rays exist today. Even though they are different, they are shifted to different functions of shark, rayes and skate species. The cartilaginous, also known as the Chondricthyes, reside in fresh water and have been around 400 million years ago. Most lived in tropical environments, which was possibly muddy and composed of silt due to the basin in the geological climate. Some of these fish are carnivorous, and prey on smaller sea creatures in order to survive. Apart from the ray, who feed off of planktons, and live in fresh water. They can grow up to 2.5. metres in length, and have fleshier tails compared to sharks. Chimeras, however, are related to sharks by having evolutionary similarities. They can live in the depths of the ocean that’s about 2600 meters, and they appear with long, soft bodies, with one single gill opening. The cartilaginous fish aren’t only evolved into a specific texture of their exterior bodies, but also participate in a particular role of behavior. Most of their unique features give them higher advantages compared to other fish. They are considered faster, and flimsy swimmers compared to others, with a spinal nerve that givers them a visceral motor column. (Evolutionary 101)
Ray finned fish, or Actinopterygii, have bases of fins called radials that are parallel bones incorporated in their flesh. Actinopterygii are the common and dominant class of vertebrates, and have been more then 35,000 fish. From marine environments to fresh water, they occur in diverse forms and features. The oarfish, catfish, eel, are lower classifications of the ray-finned fish. They are now considered the top taxomonic class of fish because over 90% of fish have the Actinopterygii characteristics. Their fins are called “rays” because of the horny spines, opposed to the fleshy, lobed fins of other fish. Since these fish are extraordinarily diverse in their habitat, they are considered the common food of mammals. Trout, Herring and Alaska Pollock fish are one of the most common catch in North Atlantic, residing on the American coast, and across Europe. (Book of fish 33). Most fish adapted to environments based on temperatures to conform to their temperature environment in low and high ranges. A selection of primitive fish regulated in diversity due to constant climate change in the sea. Primitive fish are adapted to their general occurrence by converging to low temperate increased by activity to high temperature. This is the result of a natural selection of fish branching off into different areas. “Acclimatization has been identified in many invertebrate animals from both high and low latitudes by laboratory acclimation of individual invertebrates has not been much studies.”(evolutionay biology) Due to their enzyme activities, and feedback mechanisms depending on the environment that fish reside in, its way of coping with temperature change. During ecological expansion, most fish changes life cycles of primitive fishes. (Evolutionary biology) As a result of adaptation and reactions to the late Devonian environment, most fish evolved into fish with different characteristics in different parts of the world. Ichthyostega are evidence of a split genetic between amphibians and lobe-finned fishes in the upper Devonian period. Most of these creatures have palled feet instead of legs. Clearly, their unique anatomy helped prevent themselves from drowning as well as suffocating in the sea. Their stout bodies, finned and large bodies were a hybrid characteristic between fish and premature reptiles.
Although there have been a variety of fish from millions of years ago, they are the start of revolution in other animals as well. Birds, lizards and humans have been the evolution correlation of fish anatomy. Later, fish have transitioned to amphibians to reptiles. Alternatively, majority of animals trace amphibian or fish ancestry based on the bone structures and stages of premature birth. There is common evidence that there are homologous traces of fish features based on gene maps. The critical stage of the human fetus, and the bone structures compared to the Acathode bronni fish. (fishy human)
In the evolutionary tree of vertebrates, genetics of mammals were traced from reptiles, and birds. Certain species were no longer compatible due to the deletion of enzymes of the cycle of proteins that all animals and genetics carry. Multiple taxonomic groups have a positive or negative presence on the ornithine-urea cycle in a given group (evolutionary biology 323-343). Fish are not only the common species, but also the most important. According to the evolutionary biology studies of primitive fishes, majority of the animal population carries traces of fish anatomy. Thoroughly, reoccurring evolutions and extinctions still retain the first primary life on planet Earth, such as fish. Fish is part of the ancestry of most species. Evolutionarily, it's a continuum of life existence. This is why the evolutionary biology of fish are the most significant study in the early stages of planet Earth.
