Here's a breakdown:
* True fish: These are aquatic vertebrates that belong to the class Pisces. They have gills for breathing underwater, fins for movement, and scales or bony plates for protection. Examples include:
* Salmon
* Tuna
* Goldfish
* Sharks
* Rays
* Not true fish: While these creatures may be called fish, they don't fit the scientific definition of being part of the class Pisces. Examples include:
* Jellyfish: They are actually cnidarians, a completely different group of animals.
* Starfish: They are echinoderms, a group of marine invertebrates.
* Crayfish: They are crustaceans, a type of arthropod.
* Sea Horses: They are true fish (class Pisces) but they are sometimes mistaken for something else due to their unique appearance.
So, to answer your question directly:
* True fish are those that belong to the class Pisces.
* Not true fish are creatures that may be commonly referred to as "fish" but belong to other animal groups.
