The Sarcopterygii or lobe-finned fish constitute a clade of the bony fish, though a strict cladistic view includes the terrestrial vertebrates. The living sarcopterygians are the coelacanths, lungfish, and the tetrapods.
Tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) emerged within lobe-finned fishes, so cladistically they are fish as well. Nevertheless we only speak in this page of "Sarcopterygii" which are not Tetrapods For more information visit the Wikipedia Entry Get back to Fishes | |||
