Slippery and Smooth Shark Skin: How Mucus Transforms Surface Texture.

Although mucus was visibly present on just two body regions, it had a major impact on skin texture at those regions and significantly modified surface texture in five of our six measurements of surface texture (with a strong trend in the sixth).

Outside of those two mucus‐covered body regions, other regions had no significant changes in surface texture after skin was fixed and preserved, although there was a nonsignificant trend where in vivo samples tended to have lower skew values (Figure 6 ).
