The Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fishes, are the largest class of fishes. In existence for about 400 million years, since the Early Devonian, it consists of some 42 orders containing more than 480 families, at least 80 of which are known only from fossils.
Actinopteri / æ k t ɪ ˈ n ɒ p t ə r aɪ / is the sister group of Cladistia in the class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fish). Dating back to the Permian period, the Actinopteri comprise the Chondrostei (sturgeons and paddlefish), the Holostei (bowfins and gars), and the teleosts. In other words all extant ray-finned fish minus the bichirs.

This brilliant, spiny, and poisonous lionfish is just one of the world's 20,000 living species of actinopterygians. The name means "ray-finned," for unlike the Chondrichthyes, the fins of the Actinopterygii are webs of skin supported by bony or horny spines. Most actinopterygians have complex skeletons of true bone (sturgeons and paddlefishes ...
