Bony & Cartilaginous Fishes

Live-action footage introduces several species of bony Fishes including turbot, brills, sole, and plaice. These flatfish side-swimmers are shown camouflaging themselves on the ocean floor. The stingray provides a transition to the characteristics of flat, but symmetrical, cartilaginous Fishes. Species statistics include 850 varieties of cartilaginous Fishes and 25,000 varieties of bony Fishes (half of all vertebrates).
