hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat
聖經舊約之首五卷 Leviticus / 利 未 記 11:9
Why do fish haves scales?
The main purpose of scales is to provide the fish an external protection. Some fish species can differential between male or female. Some fish have two different type of scales in one fish. Fishes internal organs such teeth / no teeth, have heart, gills (made up of filaments, arches and rakers), tongues, it has Gill spetum n operculum both act as a flaplike cover in cartilaginous fish prents oxygen poor water from drawn back into the branchial cavity; swimming bladder, stomach, lateral line (navigate in dark, detect predators, find food) liver, kidneys, female roe, male testes, Gonads are the organs that produce the sex cells. I have also notice same species various different size : small, Medium (M), large, extra large XL eg Threadfin.Get to know more about types anatomy of facinating fishes:
Anguilliform has Eel like body, eg brook lamprey; Rice Eel. It is usually found hiding in very narrow opening which they catch their prey unnoticible, the body structure enables the fish to resist the force of current.
Fusiform are Torpedo-like body eg: blue Marlin, Tunas, Mackeral, swordfish, sailfish, are all fast swimmers, has tunniform topedo like locomotion
Compressiform has oval shape body eg giant sea bass, green sunfish, crappie, usually dwell in rock reefs, coral reefs, thickly vegetated areas and schools, in freshwater deep-bodied fish. eg parrotfish
Globiform are ball-like or Globe-like body eg lump sucker, it is found in freshwater enviroment
Depressiform has flattened pancake like body eg bottom fish such as flounder, halibut, rays, turbot, skates. It usually found resting on bottom sea bed. It hides itself in a layer of sand. They are known to be lie-in-wait predators. Usually does not swim Bladders. Have two eyes on either Left or right eyed
Taeniform are ribbon-like body eg butterfish Gunnel, it hides in cracks n crevices, not a fast swimmer.
Filiform are long filament-like or thread like body eg: snipe Eel found in in freshwater enviroment
Sagittiform are arrow like body eg pikes, top-minnow, killifish, gars, salmom, trout needlefish n barracuda, the structure of the body has the advantage of rover predators
Anguilliform locomotion snake-like swim wiggle throught the water has the body that are long, slender fish – eels, for example – there is little increase in the amplitude of the flexion wave as it passes along the body. It has thread like Filiform body
Sub-carangiform locomotion - Bending body swim is a more marked increase in wave amplitude along the body with the vast majority of the work being done by the rear half of the fish. In general, the fish body is stiffer, making for higher speed but reduced manouverability. Example Trout fish.
Carangiform locomotion - Fish in this group are stiffer and faster-moving The vast majority of movement is concentrated in the very rear of the body and tail. Carangiform swimmers generally have rapidly oscillating tails. Inventor adapt this type of locomotion for Autonomous Robotic Fish whip-like swim (Black n white snapper)
Thunniform locomotion - Torpedo-like swim (tuna, yellowtail kingfish, mako 短鰭鮫鯊 n white sharks) are high-speed long-distance swimmers, it has a semi-lunate (moon-shaped) caudal fin with a narrow caudal peduncle, and use an oscillation of the caudal fin with very little undulation of the rest of the body. It has Fusiform is a streamlined n shaped like a plane fuselage body
Oar-like swim (spotted boxfish),
All Scales are colourless and there are six main kinds of scales and numerous variations of each kind are they all kosher? Let's see.

The Torah says that the simanim of kosher fish are “snapir v’ kaskeses”. However the Gemara tells us that all fish that have “kaskeses” have “snapir”, so in practice, all one needs to determine that a fish is kosher is that it has kaskeses! So what exactly is kaskeses? “Kaskeses” is generally translated as scales. Nonetheless, not all scales are considered kaskeses. This is because the Ramban, in his commentary on the Torah tells us “kaskeses” are scales that can be easily removed by hand or with a knife without tearing the skin. Scales that are embedded in a fish (or are not visible to the naked eye) are not “kaskeses”. The Ramban’s definition is universally accepted, and in fact the Rema rules that those scales that cannot be easily removed (according to the parameters that will be discussed below) cannot be called “kaskeses”.
To check if a fish is kosher, one must ascertain that its scales could be properly removed.9 Scales are attached on the side to the fish on that side of the scale which is closer to the head and are not attached on the other side of the scale which is closer to the tail. To remove the scales, one must grasp that side that is not attached and gently pluck it off from the side of the fish.10 If removing the scale did not damage the skin, then the fish is kosher. Scale fish must be place on separate compartment slope or tilted bench for better drainage, cover with more ice in warm climate like Singapore. The Scale fish should be away from the non-kosher fish and other marine animals and cutting has to be kept separate. Be sure to wash the fish immediate after cutting, at home I would wash with salt water. Most Kosher fish are found in the Epi pelagic zone, you visit this link to learn about the Pelagic Zone.
Fish roes has the same kosher status as the fish they came from. It is important the roe fish remain where it came from and that no ingredient other than salt is is used.
Illustrations of Some Popular Kosher FishNB Most Omega plus fish are Kosher healthy food. Our G_d the Creator of the universe knows what are best for human consumption. When we look at the anatomy, nature, survival instinct of Fishes in the scripture represent various personality, character behaviour, altitude of people. While the scale act as a shield of our faith, type of atoning covering see as the parable of the Great Banquet Matthew 22:1-13 (key verse:12-13), it represents the Torah of G_D. Torah means Teaching and instruction. The fins is symbol of guidance, directional, having a bearing, a sense of direction, not wander aimlessly, or faith wavering, not easily misled, surest in our salvation in Yeshua, being very objective and focusing, the fin often have very spiky device which act like the sword to defend themselves wiles of the evil forces.
Why do fins and scales indicate that a fish is kosher?In the Jewish mystical tradition, fins, sharp and dangerous like
weapons of war, represent harsh, impure forces in the world. Only a
species of fish which is equipped with scales, representing protection
(i.e. armor) from these violent tendencies is appropriate for Jewish
consumption. This is because the Creator desires that we characterize the
attributes of kindness and compassion, and by eating foods which embody these traits we imbibe these qualities.
