Bony fish (Osteichthyes) have bone instead if cartilage for their skeletons. The majority of fish fit into this category, making it the largest class and very diverse. They can therefore live in many places (freshwater and marine environments). They have a stable pattern of cranial bones and many have swim bladders. Examples are swordfish and tuna.
