Abstract | It was established during the study of the scales of the North Adriatic sprat (Sprattus sprattus L.) that in most cases the rings are poorly developed or may be absent entirely. The origin of the rings is discussed. It was noticed that the most common are diffuse rings, and these were normally considered as annual rings. But narrow and sharp rings are also present on the scales. In addition, the abnormalities of the scales are studied. |
