There are scales on the surface of the body of turbot fish, but the number is not very large. Their scales are scattered on the surface of the body, and the distribution is irregular. The scales of turbot fish themselves are relatively small. Although turbot fish has scales, it can be regarded as scaleless fish, because some fish with scales but very small scales also belong to scaleless fish. There are some hard bumps on the body surface of turbot fish, but this is not their scales, but their structure to adapt to the environment.
