Actinopterygii

∞ generated and posted on 2023.05.18 ∞

Taxon consisting of the ray-finned fish.

Believe it or not, Actinopterygii in theory might be pronounced as "ak-tee-now-teh-ruh-jee", but don't you believe it!

The actinopterygians constitute a subset of the osteichthyans, i.e., the bony fish.

Contrast class Sarcopterygii, which instead are fish with lobe fins.
