A magnified view shows overlapping ctenoid scales with serrated posterior margins bearing ctenii and smoother anterior fields. These dermal scales are anatomical structures embedded in the dermis and overlain by epidermis, forming part of the fish integumentary system. In ichthyology and comparative anatomy, they function to protect underlying tissues, reduce hydrodynamic drag, and enhance maneuverability.
