Skin and scales of teleost fish: Simple structure but high performance and multiple functions (2014, methodology): “Fish skin is known for its remarkable mechanical properties: compliance, resistance to penetration (Yang et al., 2013a; Zhu et al., 2012a; Meyers et al., 2012; Zhu et al., 2012b; Vernerey and Barthelat 2010; Bruet et al., 2008) lightweight, all of them within an ultra-thin membrane structure.”
Mechanical induced wounds in fish – a review on models and healing mechanisms (2020, background): “Individual scales have a high resistance to sharp penetration, and overlapping scales act collectively to distribute the puncture over large areas (Vernerey & Barthelat 2010; Vernerey et al. 2014).”
