The cladogram at Teleost#Internal relationships shows a divergence date of 175 mya. That can't be right; nodes further in have earlier dates (e.g. 250 mya). Plantdrew ( talk) 01:50, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
The intro says that teleosts comprise 96% of all known fish species. Is that known extant species or ever-living species? As teleosts arose in the Triassic, well after the so-called Age of Fishes, it seems that it must be 96% of the living species, as the Devonian was long before the Triassic. Whatever the answer, this should be clarified. -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 15:45, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Reading the first paragraph, one is led to think that ray-finned fish are higher up in the hierarchy than bony fish, i.e., that there are ray-finned species which don't have bones. That can't be right. Can someone have a look? Werner Vogel ( talk) 00:31, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
I just changed the last name in the ref 79, but I see that it cannot possibly be the correct one, because the book cited (Wootton and Smith, 2014, Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes) is less than 500 pages long and the citation indicates pages 600-601.
Please, if the change I made is not correct, someone please revert me and indicate the correct reference.-- Furado ( talk) 09:54, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
Can anyone explain why this article does not mention or cite Fishes of the World ? WikiProject:Fishes states that the 5th edition is the taxonomy to be followed in fish articles above the level of genus so it is strange that this is not even mentioned in the article.
