The scale in musical theory describes a series of ascending or descending notes, each of which is a tone or semitone apart from its neighbour.

The scale in musical theory describes a series of ascending or descending notes, each of which is a tone or semitone apart from its neighbour. At least, that is so for most music. Sometimes you may encounter scales with intervals of less than a semitone: Indian sitar music is a prime example. The American jazz vibraphonist Emil Richards experimented with such scales in his 'Microtonal Blues Band' in the 1970s.

Shark?s do not have scales, instead being covered with small denticle?s which are similar in structure to teeth?. Some other fish are also scaleless or have incomplete scale coverage.
