Question

Do scales grow back on fish?

Answer 1

Scales:

1. Scales offer defense against the elements and predators. Bone from the deeper skin or dermal layer is used to make fish scales.
2. There are countless variations of each of the four main categories of scales:

• Placoids
• Cosmoid
• Ganoid
• Ctenoid and a cytoid

Fish:

1. A jawed vertebrate with a rudimentary jaw is a fish. They are aquatic, cool-blooded creatures that use fins to help them breathe and move.
2. Fish scales can regrow over time, but the rate at which they do so varies between species and depends on various circumstances.
3. Most fish frequently lose their scales due to physical harm sustained during breeding, bruises, infections, or attacks.
4. Scales grow back on fish.
