A stylized scientific illustration depicts a ctenoid fish scale in surface view, an integumentary anatomical structure within the skin of many teleosts. The posterior margin bears comb-like ctenii (tooth-like spines), while radii (grooves) extend anteriorly across the lamina toward the focus. In ichthyology and comparative anatomy, such scales contribute to mechanical protection and hydrodynamic performance, lying embedded in the dermis and overlain by epidermis as part of the integumentary system.
