No they're not. Sharks don't have bone. They only have cartilage. Fish have a skeltal structure. That's the main difference. There's also the fact that sharks must move forward at all times to pass water through their 'gill' area whereas fish don't.

Just because they live in the same environment doesn't mean they're the same creature.

Saying sharks are fish is like saying humans are snakes. Obviously there are some humans with snake-like characteristics, but they're still not snakes.
