Scales provide fishes with a thin, flexible and light‐weight protection against predators. Puncture tests on individual scales have revealed an unusually high resistance to sharp penetration, and unique failure mechanisms which could inspire new designs for protective materials. More details can be found in the article by F. Barthelat et. al. on page B185 .
