Scaly fish, also known as teleosts, are a diverse group of bony fish characterized by their outer covering of scales. These scales serve as protection and help reduce friction while swimming. Scaly fish include many familiar species, such as trout, salmon, and goldfish, and are found in various aquatic environments. They play significant roles in ecosystems and human economies, both as food sources and in recreational fishing.

Are turtles scaly?

None of the turtles I've felt were scaly, their shell was smooth and kind of glossy. It might be a bit rough, especially if they have an injury that is healing, but other than that, not scaly. Unless they were real dirty and then it was grity, or muddy, but not scaly, like a fish or snake rubbed against their grain.
