EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1865, showcases two intriguing fish species native to the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean: the Hebridal Smelt (Argentina sphyraena) and the Argentine (Maurolicus muelleri, also known as Pearlside). The image, captured during the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the rich marine life of the Hebrides, an archipelago located off the west coast of Scotland. The Hebridal Smelt, also known as the Silver Smelt or the Longjaw Smelt, is a small, silvery fish with an elongated jaw and numerous small, dark spots along its body. A member of the Osmeridae family, it is a pelagic fish that thrives in the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the North Atlantic. The species is an essential food source for various marine predators and plays a crucial role in the marine food chain. The Argentine, or Maurolicus, is another fascinating species depicted in this photograph. With a yellowish-pink body and numerous small, dark spots, this deep-water fish is a member of the Serranidae family. Known as the Pearlside due to the pearly sheen on its sides, this species is a common inhabitant of the deep waters of the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas. This photograph, taken over 150 years ago, offers a unique window into the natural history of these two remarkable fish species. It serves as a reminder of the diverse and intriguing marine life that exists beneath the waves, waiting to be explored and understood.
