Morning, a doitsu skin dimension is thinner than a wagoi's. The skin is the same but the dermis lacks scale pockets ( and entire structure within the dermis). But the epidermis is the same.
I have accidently lacerated the skin scraping a doitsu tosai. It is not hard to do without the protection of the scales. But that of course is a physical test.
Here's an interesting observation- I was once at a large retailer's in Japan. It was a very cold January day. The fish in a 36 inch pond were asagi and shusui. ALL the shusui had rolled onto their sides due to the extreme cold. NONE of the asagi ( wagoi) were on their sides- instead they lined up on the bottom like loafs of french bread. A coincidence or a physiological demonstration??

Human or koi? I'd guess that man has thicker skin. But thinking about it, man has a larger fat layer and the epidermis/dermis itself might not be? -JR
