Fish Scales First appear as dermal bone
Found in fossil of Cambrian period (570 mya)
Layered bone, solid armor-constrained movement
Evolved smaller and reduced into scales
5 types of scales (examples with images to follow)
Placoid
Cosmoid
Ganoid

Fish Scales: Placoid
Found in elasmobranchs (sharks & rays)
“teeth like”, same composition
As fish grows, do not increase in size, instead new scales are added
![Page 11: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Coloration
![Page 15: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Coloration
Fish display a multitude of patterns involving
2 or more colors,
in many tints and shades,
arranged in spots, stripes, patches, and blotches
3 Types of coloration predominant in oceans
Silver – pelagic, upper zone
Red – deeper zone (~ 500 m)
Black or violet – deep sea
Countershaded near shore and colorful in coral reefs
![Page 16: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Coloration
Chromatophores
Colored cells from which light is reflected off
Located in the skin (dermis), eyes
Various colors/hues-combination of different chromatophores
Functional Roles of Colors in Fishes-examples of each to follow
Social Roles
Advertisement
Mimicry
Hiding
Protection from sun (especially larvae)
![Page 17: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Coloration: Social rolesCleaner Fish:distinctive markings recognized by larger fish
![Page 18: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Coloration:Advertisement:
Bright, bold and showy males indicate:
Reproductive availability, either permanently or seasonally, e.g. cichlids, wrasses, minnows, sunfish
Unpalatable or venomous, e.g. lionfishes
Mimicry – Disguise:
Disguises: look like something in habitat, e.g. leaffish, sargasso fish
Mimicry: mimic distasteful species
![Page 19: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Coloration: ConcealmentGeneral color resemblance – resemble background
Variable color resemblance – change with background, e.g. flatfish
Obliterative shading – countershading, dark above, light below (invisible fish)
Disruptive coloration – disruptive contours that breakup outline; bold stripes, bars, false eye spots
Coincident disruptive coloration – joining together of unrelated parts of the body to reduce recognition; e.g. sea dragon
![Page 20: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Bioluminescence
Most luminous fish found 300-1000 m depths, few shallow 3 Types of light producing methods:
Self-luminous (on/off)
Symbiotic bacteria nurtured in special glands
Acquire from other bioluminescent organisms- diet contains light-emitting compounds
Function:
Concealment by counter-illumination - ventral placement matches background from above, against attack from below
Dorsal photophores safeguard against predators from above
Advertisement for courting, maintaining territory, to startle and confuse predators, and feeding

Fish LocomotionMeans of Locomotion:
Simplest form: Passive drifting of larval fish
Some can:
Burrow
Walk, hop, or crawl
Glide
Fly
Most can:
Swim in a variety of ways

Fish Muscles
Muscles provide power for swimming
Myomers=bands of muscle, run along sides of body, attached to backbone
Constitute up to 80% of the fish itself
Much hardly used except during emergencies
Don’t have to contend with same effect of gravity
Fish muscle arrangement not suitable on land Cow: 30% muscle/wtTuna: 60% muscle/wt
Contraction causes oscillation of body and tailBody bends as one side contracts b/c of an incompressiblenotochord or vertebral columnCaused by bands of muscle = myomeres

Fish MusclesMajor fibers (see handout):
Red, pink, and white
Pink intermediate between red and white
Muscle types do not intermingle
Different motor systems used for different swimming conditions
Red – cruising
White – short duration, burst swimming
Pink – sustained swimming, used after red and before white
![Page 27: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Fish Locomotion
Swimming classified into 2 generic categories:
Periodic (or steady or sustained)- e.g. running marathons, for covering large distance at constant speed
Transient (or unsteady) – e.g. like running sprints, used for catching prey or avoiding predators

Tuna: Ultimate Living Swimming MachineSwim continuously – feeding, courtship, rest, reproduction
![Page 31: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tuna: Ultimate Living Swimming Machinehydrodynamic adaptations
Big size-high performance engine
Streamlining-spindle shaped & rigid body
Small structures at various parts of the body to improve swimming efficiency and reduce drag, e.g.
Eyes flush with body – don’t protrude
Adipose eyelid - smooth, reduce drag
Depression grooves for dorsal, pelvic, & pectoral fins at high speed
Keeled peduncle - cutting through water
Finlets for cross-flow - delayed separation
![Page 32: Vertebrates (subphylum vertebrata) Possess a backbone (aka vertebral column, spine) Vertebrae=Dorsal row of hollow skeletal elements (usually bone) Nerve](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c7e5503460f94934319/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Tuna: Ultimate Living Swimming Machine
Must swim to survive:
No gas bladder, rigid body, ram ventilation
High blood volume, large heart, maintain warm core (25oC)
School to utilize vortices generated by other fish (~like race car driver who “slipstreams” and then slingshots past leading car)
Adopt swim-glide for energy savings (like birds)
High narrow tails – propulsion with least effort, used to design efficient propulsion systems for ships
Slipstream: The area of reduced pressure or forward suction
produced by and immediately behind a fast-moving object as it
moves through air or water.
