Finfish

Term used to describe the strictly classified biological group of fishes, sometimes called true fishes to distinguish them from other aquatic life whose common names also end in “fish”, including mollusks (e.g., cuttlefish), crustaceans (e.g., crayfish), echinoderms (e.g., starfish), and other animals (e.g., jellyfish); or any other aquatic life harvested in fisheries or aquaculture (e.g. shellfish).
