A. Cyclostomes lack true scales and paired fi ns. They possess only median fins (dorsal fin, ventral fin and caudal fin)
B. Cyclostomes lack jaws. They possess a circular, sucker-like mouth that lacks true jaws. This mouth structure is adapted for attachment to the bodies of other fi sh, which they use as a host for feeding.
C. Cyclostomes possess between 6 to 15 pairs of gills-slits.
