All sharks are fish. Not counting "common name" shenanigans.
If birds are dinosaurs, then whales are fish.
Whales are mammals, not fish. They don't even swim in the same way as fish, rely on air, warm blooded, and so on. They're "fish" in the same way we are fish by being derived from tetrapods. But then the term fish becomes irrelevant. Because it can mean animals with lungs, gills, cats, dogs, humans, bears, lizards, birds, and so on. It becomes useless as a description. Because then almost any animal that isn't an arthropod or single celled is a fish.
Nothing now. It'll just show why almost nobody uses "fish" to mean every single animal that came from them. Or it'd be so many varied, distinct animals that it becomes useless to describe them as fish.
Whales are fish in the same way we are. But calling anything that came from a tetrapod a fish still is pretty misleading. It's a neat bit of trivia and shows their lineage, but it's not really a fish in the common usage of the word as in a thing with gills that lives in water.
There's a whole chapter in Moby Dick arguing that whales are fish.
Whales technically are derived lobe finned fish
I like dolphins (and orcas), they're cute
orcas are dolphins
And dolphins are whales.
"Whales" are broken into "Toothed Whales" and "Baleen Whales".
Yeah, that's why I put it in brackets
If birds are dinosaurs, then whales are fish.
well yes but no but yes... hmmm yeh i guess... so birds are also fish?
phylogenetically, whales are fish and so are you.
That's a shark, dumbass
all fishes are sharks, but not all sharks are fishes
Fishes be bitches.

some fish breathe air, produce milk-like liquid and tuna are warm blooded
what now, General Autismo?

>t. fish
All wrong
Show a single error and explain why it is one. Everything I said is objectively true.
Whales are fish AND mammals.
