More about cartilaginous fish

Explain how cartilaginous and bony fish regulate the salt found in water?
      Bony fish drink alot of seawater for hydration. Sharks reabsurb the area by the break down of protein back into their tissue.


What are some key differences in life's history between cartilaginous and bony fish?
       Sharks have a life strategy that requires slow growth to a relatively large size, while fish demonstrate rapid growth and reach maturity younger.


Describe how sharks reproduce.
         Their reproduction is internal. They have pelvic claspers that serve as the sperm conducting structure for internal fertilization.
