Description

Fish skins and sharkskins provide a close texture, impervious surface that have been used as abrasives for polishing veneer (Kuhn 1986). In northern Pacific regions, fish skins were also used for clothing, footwear, and waterproof covers for windows, boats, and sleds (Kite 1999).

See also Salmon skin, and Shagreen.
