Cycloid Scales In Fishes at Amy Macartney blog

Cycloid Scales In Fishes. Cycloid scales are small, round scales that overlap like shingles on a roof. 4 d shows four layers (organic and inorganic) of a polypterus senegalus fish scale, and these layers form a nanocomposite design. Cycloid scales are typically thin and flexible, allowing for some degree of overlap between adjacent scales. As a fish with cycloid or ctenoid scales grows, its scales also grow. Some fishes like sole have ctenoid scales on the 'eyed' side of their body and cycloid scales on the other side. The cycloid scales are thin, flexible, transluscent plates, rather circular in outline, thicker in the centre and marked with several concentric lines of growth which can be used for determining the age of the fish. They are found in a large number of teleostean fishes having soft rayed fins, such as labeo, catla, barbus, cirrhina, etc. Cycloid and ctenoid scales are derived from ganoid scales that have lost the ganoine and thinned the bony embedded plate. They are characterized by their circular or oval shape and lack of spines or ridges along the edge.
