Fish scales consist of a collagenous fibril matrix impregnated with inorganic mineral deposits.
The mineral phase is composed of calcium-deficient Hydroxyapatite [$\text{Ca}_{10}(\text{PO}_4)_6(\text{OH})_2$], constituting approximately $40\% - 45\%$ of the dry scale weight, making fish scales a sustainable source for biomedical bone graft hydroxyapatite.
