Indeed, ancestral reconstruction and geometric morphometric analyses revealed that the patterns of morphological evolution in Polypteridae are similar to those seen in other osteichthyans, thus implying the underlying genetic and developmental mechanisms responsible for those patterns were established early in the evolutionary history of Osteichthyes.    From Wordnik.com.  [BioMed Central - Latest articles] Reference

We are ALL Osteichthyes (bony fishes) and, within bony fishes, we are all Tetrapoda (four footed) … in other words, the new species is a tetrapod fish … there is no such thing as a “fish” unless you are willing to include ALL of the descendants of the bony fish’s ancestor, which includes salmon, lung fish, frogs, mammals, turtles, crocs birds, lizards and snakes (among others) … and the swim bladder evolved in the ancestor of bony fishes sooo, yes Tiktaalik has a swim bladder (and since it is a tetrapod, that bladder would be serve more as a functional lung than as a buoyancy organ).    From Wordnik.com.  [Trollart on Tiktaalik - The Panda's Thumb] Reference
