Fishing in a Fish (ilovedoodle)
X-Rays of Fish Reveal Diversity
1. X-Ray Image of a Winghead Shark:
The distinctive form of a winghead shark, Eusphyra blochii, is revealed in an X-ray image. The shark’s eyes are spread far apart, giving it superb binocular vision.
2. X-Ray Image of a Long-Spined Porcupine Fish:
The robust oval, spine covered body of a long-spined porcupine fish, Diodon holocanthus, is revealed in this X-ray image.
3. X-Ray Image of a Monterey Skate:
An X-ray image of a Monterey skate, Raja montereyensis, reveals a spine that extends like a tail out from the pelvic fin. The skeletons of skates, rays, chimaeras, and sharks are made of cartilage, rather than bone.
An X-ray image of a longnose butterflyfish, Forcipiger longirostris, helps scientists study the fish’s complex bone structure.
Why this fish has teeth all over its body
This beautiful image of a skate fish embryo reveals something truly extraordinary about the scales on its body. As University of Cambridge biologist Andrew Gillis explains, they are, in fact, quite similar to human teeth. They’re even controlled by genes similar to those that control tooth growth in humans. You may never look at fish scales in the same way again.
