Elasmobranchii is a subclass of fish that includes sharks, rays, and skates. The term "elasmobranchii" comes from the Greek words "elasma," meaning plate, and "branchia," meaning gills. It refers to the unique structure of their gill slits, which are supported by cartilaginous plates. Elasmobranchii are characterized by their cartilaginous skeletons, multiple gill slits, and the absence of swim bladders. This group of fish has been around for over 400 million years and is often referred to as the "primitive fish" due to their ancient lineage and ability to survive in a wide range of aquatic environments.
