Le hareng frais est un excellent poisson dont on ferait le plus grand cas, s'il était cher et s'il était rare; il faut le choisir avec des ouïes rouges, des écailles brillantes, rebondi du côté du ventre, car alors il est plein, mais ce n'est guère qu'à la fin d'août ou à la mi-septembre qu'on le mange dans toute sa saveur. 2, record 2, French, - hareng%20frais

Chez les Chondrostéens et les Holostéens, les écailles primitives se fusionnent en larges écussons losangiques. Ces écussons comprennent une couche profonde correspondant à l'ensemble des plaques basales des écailles placoïdes fusionnées et une couche superficielle représentant la substance propre des dents fusionnées. Cette couche superficielle prend un éclat particulier, d'où le nom d'écaille "ganoïde" donné à ce type. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9caille%20gano%C3%AFde
