From Lecointre et Le Guyader (2001)
1-Sarcopterygians belong to the monophyletic group, the Vertebrates. They include some extant
aquatic species, commonly called "fishes" (see phylogenetic tree above). In the Vertebrate tree illustrated
below, there are other Vertebrate groups also referred to as "fishes".
Do fishes constitute a monophyletic group?
→ The simple term “fish" is no longer used alone for phylogenetic classification, although the word
is quite usual. What definition could you give for a fish?
