Shark dandruff
How can “shark dandruff” contribute to coral reef conservation?
July 06, 2021
Sharks’ bodies are covered with tiny, tooth-like scales called denticles. Shed denticles settle to the ocean floor, where they remain in sediments for years and can be used to understand which sharks lived on a reef in the past.
Special Feature
