Jawless fish like lampreys and hagfish have no vertebrae or jaws. Lampreys are parasites with a larval stage while hagfish live on the ocean floor as scavengers. Cartilaginous fish like sharks have a skeleton of cartilage and ventral mouths. They have tails like heterocercal or homocercal tails and complex digestive systems to break down their food. They reproduce internally and give live birth.
