Skeleton of a Fish

Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for their contribution to our site. The following information came from Microsoft Encarta.

The skeleton of the fish has the same general structural components as other vertebrates: a skull, spinal column, limbs, and a tail. Fish limbs have developed into fins, which are adapted for swimming and for providing stability while swimming.
