Scales of the ray finned fishes can be used for multiple purposes. Beside others by their specific structure and elemental composition they are usable for age determination and food-web researches. Additionally, just their presence, absence, shape, location, or numbers could provide a reliable taxonomic information.

- Pikes are significant freshwater predators in the northern hemisphere, with the northern pike being the only species identified in the Carpathian basin, showing high phenotypic variance and growth variability likely due to environmental factors and possibly genetic reasons.
- Phylogenetic analysis of 88 pike specimens revealed three major lineages present in the study area, with the Southern lineage being identified as native, while the Northern and Circumpolar lineages may have been introduced.
- Morphological assessments indicated notable differences, particularly in scale count and head length among lineages, suggesting that body patterns are more influenced by development over time rather than genetic lineages.
