	Mudminnow Taxonomical Clasification

On this page I have the complete taxonomy tree for fish from class to family. I am using the most up to date information to compile this list. The old taxonomy tree only had three classes; Agnatha, Chondrichthys, and Ostioichthys. This is the newer tree. There are six classes of Ichthys. The following two classes used to be grouped in the old class Agnatha. Myxini These are the hagfishes. This class has only one order. Cephalaspidomorphi These are the lampreys. Like the hagfishes, there is only one order. The following two classes used to be grouped in the old class Chondrichthys. Holocephali These are the chimaeras and ratfishes. This class has only one order. Elasmobranchii These are the sharks, rays, and sawfishes. There are twelve orders in this class. The following two classes used to be grouped in the old class Ostioichthys. Sarcopterygii These are the lobe-finned fish. There are three orders in this class. Actinopterygii These are the ray-finned fish. There are forty orders in this class.
