Begin by understanding the term 'vertebrates'. Vertebrates are animals with a backbone or spinal column, which includes groups like fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Consider the diversity and number of species within each group. Fish are known to be the most numerous and diverse group of vertebrates.
Fish inhabit a wide range of aquatic environments, from freshwater to marine ecosystems, contributing to their diversity.
There are over 30,000 species of fish, which is more than the combined total of all other vertebrate groups.
Fish have adapted to various ecological niches, leading to a vast array of forms and functions, further enhancing their diversity.
