👉 The term "teleostome" is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, which includes several species that are closely related to both sharks and rays. The name "teleostome" comes from the Greek word "teleos", meaning "long" or "big", referring to their elongated bodies and large gills that allow them to swim efficiently underwater. Teleostomes have a long snout, which is used for feeding on fish and other small marine organisms.
