Nature Materials 2007) 50 nm Motivation Musculoskeletal Tissues (Medical) • The degradation of load-bearing musculoskeletal tissues during aging, injury, and / or disease affects millions of people worldwide. • The application of experimental and theoretical nanotechnologies to the field of musculoskeletal tissues and tissue engineering holds great promise for significant and rapid advancements towards tissue repair and/or replacement and even possibly a cure for people afflicted with ailments such as osteoarthritis. Exoskeletal Tissues (Engineering) (Ashby, 1999) • Inspiration and guidance for improved and increasingly advanced structural engineering materials; e.g. body armor and vehicle protection for defense and security applications. • Learning the basic principles of “mechanical property amplification" via complex, hierarchical and heterogeneous nanostructures that undergo a wide variety of deformation mechanisms at multiple length scales. Comparison of natural and historic engineered armor Tomasz Arciszewski and Joanna Cornell I.F.C.

Maximize energy dissipation 2. Decrease Weight 3. Minimize deformations 4. Minimize penetration 5. Maximize visual impact 6. Maximize noise/sound impact -Metabolic costs; - materials available in the environment -Hygiene : lack of flexibility may increase vulnerability to parasites -Thermoregulation Tomasz Arciszewski and Joanna Cornell I.F.C. Smith (Ed.): EG-ICE 2006, LNAI 4200 Today’s human body armor Maximum Maximum Mobility Protection/Survivability Tradeoff Modern armors exist which can protect a person against even the high-velocity rounds fired by assault, battle or sniper rifles→too bulky and heavy for practical use 1. Flat plate inserts to protect vital organs only -The heart, lungs, central nervous systems, etc. are usually well protected, Helmet to Not Mobile Enough & Not Effective Against Shrapnel protect head. Limbs rarely armored or Blast 2. Weight reduction desirable. 3. Minimal protection from blast (improvised explosive devices, IED’s) 4. Multi-hit capability desirable.

    Lecture 6 – Integument ‐ Scale • A scale is a small rigid plate that grows out of an animal’s skin to provide protection. • Scales are quite common and have evolved multiple times with varying structure and function. • Scales are generally classified as part of an organism's integumentary system. • There are various types of scales according to shape and to class of animal. • Although the meat and organs of some species of fish are edible by humans, the scales are usually not eaten. Scale structure • Fish scales Fish scales are dermally derived, specifically in the mesoderm. This fact distinguishes them from reptile scales paleontologically. Genetically, the same genes involved in tooth and hair development in mammals are also involved in scale development. Earliest scales – heavily armoured thought to be like Chondrichthyans • Fossil fishes • ion reservoir • osmotic control • protection • Weighting Scale function • Primary function is protection (armor plating) • Hydrodynamics Scales are composed of four basic compounds: ((gmoving from inside to outside in that order) • Lamellar bone • Vascular or spongy bone • Dentine (dermis) and is always associated with enamel. • Acellular enamel (epidermis) • The scales of fish lie in pockets in the dermis and are embeded in connective tissue. • Scales do not stick out of a fish but are covered by the Epithelial layer. • The scales overlap and so form a protective flexible armor capable of withstanding blows and bumping. • In some catfishes and seahorses, scales are replaced by bony plates. • In some other species there are no scales at all. Evolution of scales Placoid scale – (Chondricthyes – cartilagenous fishes) develop in dermis but protrude through epidermis.

  • Multi-Scale Analysis of Habitat Association in a Guild of Blennioid Fishes
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 125: 31-43.1995 Published September 14 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Multi-scale analysis of habitat association in a guild of blennioid fishes Craig Syms* University of Auckland Marine Laboratory, PO Box 349, Warkworth, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The degree to which reef fish are associated with parhcular reef characteristics has been the subject of much debate. It is increasingly clear that the strength of the relationship between reef fish and their habitat may be dependent on the scales at which the reef habitat is categorised. Conse- quently, scale must be explicitly incorporated into any investigation of fish and habitat association. I addressed the problem of scale by examining changes in the composition of a guild of blennioid fishes (comprising 13 species in the families Tripterygiidae and Blenniidae) relative to the scale at which their habitat was defined. Correspondence Analysis was used to display differences in guild structure At large, geographical scales, characteristic blenniold assemblages could be detected. Changes in gulld structure were due partly to differences in numerical dominance of a set of generalist species and, to a lesser extent, species composition. At broad scales, the blennioid assemblage displayed species- specific depth patterns and association with macroalgal cover. A core group of species was found at all depths, while others were restricted in depth and biogenic habitat type. The degree of shelter provided by topographic features characterised the blennioid assemblage at fine scales, and habitat specialisa- tion became apparent at this scale The patterns detected in this survey indicate scales at which ques- tions about processes generating these patterns may be profitably addressed.

Simultaneously, the role of the microstructure of the scale in defeating threats as well as providing avenues of energy dissipation to withstand biting attacks is identified. Microstructural length scale and material property length scale matching between the threat and armor is observed. Based on these results, a summary of advantageous and disadvantageous design strategies for the offensive threat and defensive protection is formulated.

The arapaima Alligator gar has flexible and overlapping cycloid scales which consist of a tough Bouligand-type arrangement of collagen Coelacanth layers in the base and a hard external mineralized surface, protecting it from piranha, a predator with extremely Arapaima sharp teeth. The coelacanth has overlapping elasmoid scales that consist of adjacent Bouligand-type pairs, forming a double-twisted Bouligand-type structure. The collagenous layers are connected by collagen fibril struts which significantly contribute to the energy dissipation, so that the scales have the capability to defend from predators such as sharks.

(Corresponding author: Zubia Masood) (Received 17 April, 2015, Accepted 27 May, 2015) (Published by Research Trend, Website: www.researchtrend.net) ABSTRACT: As fish scale contain numerous microstructures that could be helpful for fish identification such as, ctenii, position of focus, circuli, annuli and radii. Therefore, in the present study, a traditional approach was made for studying in detail the structures of scales from a mullet species, Mugil cephalus (family Mugilidae). Samples were purchased from market of joint road, Quetta, Balochistan. During the study period extends from August 2014 to December 2014, total length of all collected specimens was ranged from 12.5- 17.5 cm, respectively. From each fish, scales were taken from the three different body regions i.e., HS (head scales), CS (caudal scales) and TRS (transverse row scales) in order to analyzed the variation in the microstructures on the scales. The scales have been subjected to scanning electron microscope (SEM) for the study of microstructures of scales in detail. Thus, from the result of the present study, it had been proved that in addition to external morphological characters of fish, some microstructures of scale could be helpful in systematic classification of any fish species.

  • FISH BIOLOGY (2 UNITS) This Course Is Taught by Three (3) Lecturers
    LECTURE NOTE ON FIS 301 FIS 301: FISH BIOLOGY (2 UNITS) This Course is taught by three (3) lecturers – Dr. I.T Omoniyi, Dr. F.I. Adeosun and Dr. A.A. Akinyemi. The Course Synopsis is further outlined on lecture basis as follows: Lectures 1 – 3: Gross external anatomy of typical bony and cartilaginous fishes. Lectures 4 – 5: Gross internal anatomy of typical bony and cartilaginous fishes. Lectures 6 – 7: Anatomy of systems and basic functions Lectures 8 – 9: Reproductive biology treated under fecundity Lectures 10 – 12: Embryology/life history of fish. GROSS EXTERNAL ANATOMY By way of introduction, basic diagnostic features of fish need to be identified. 1. Fishes are cold blooded/poikilothermic animals i.e their body temperature varying passively in accordance with the ambient temperature (surrounding water temperature). Although, fishes as a group can tolerate wide range of temperature from just below O0C to 450C, individual species generally have a preferred or optimum as well as a more restricted temperature range. For example, salmonids inhabit water with temperature range from 0-200C. Any change within the optimum range can significant influence the biology as related to the anatomy. 2. The adoption of aquatic habit has other implications for the structure and physiology of fish. For instance, it makes the streamlining and shaping of the body an important pre-requisite 1 for success in aquatic life. The shapes range from ovoid to torpedo-like or fusiform shape. This is due to the higher density of water than air. 3. Respiration assumes a greater important through the gills when compared to terrestrial th animals because water contains 1/20 of 02 available in air.
