Abstract

The reflecting layers in the external surfaces of salmon were studied during smoltification by making direct observations on the reflecting structures. The relationships between the reflecting layers in the epithelium external to the scales, in the tissues of the scales, and in the skin internal to the scales are given. Some fish, including fish blinded by pseudobranchectomy were reared under very abnormal lighting conditions and the processes of silvering and regeneration of scales followed on them. It was found that the pattern of silvering in smoltification and regeneration was not at all affected by lighting and that, although regenerated scales can easily be distinguished in other ways from those they replace, the orientations and reflectivities of their plate-lets are, with occasional exceptions, almost indistinguishable from those they replace.
