Pisceans are aquatic entities found in marine, freshwater and brackish water. This class
is classified under Phylum Chordata and subphylum Vertebrata, hence they possess
characteristic features of both the groups. Typically, the body is segregated into head,
trunk, and tail and is streamlined. The lateral line system found in them serves as a
sensory structure to sense disturbances in the ambience. The internal skeleton of fishes
is cartilaginous or bony. These cold-blooded entities exhibit a closed type of blood
circulation. Read on and solve these questions on Class Pisces.
