EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1863, showcases two intriguing species of sucker fish native to the Cornish waters of the English Channel: the Cornish Sucker (Lepadogaster lepadogaster) and the Doubly-Spotted Sucker (Cyclopterus bimaculatus). Also known as the Jura Sucker and Sucking Fish, the Cornish Sucker is a small, dark, elongated fish with a large, sucking mouth, adapted for feeding on the sea floor. The Doubly-Spotted Sucker, on the other hand, is characterized by its distinctive, large, dark spots and a more rounded body shape. The Victorian era, in which this photograph was taken, was a time of great fascination with the natural world. The advancements in photography during this period allowed for the documentation and study of various species, including these two fascinating sucker fish from the waters of Cornwall. The intricate details captured in this image provide a glimpse into the unique features of these species, which continue to intrigue scientists and nature enthusiasts today. The Cornish Sucker and Doubly-Spotted Sucker are both important components of the marine ecosystem in the waters around Cornwall. They play a role in the food chain and contribute to the overall health and balance of the marine environment. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in our oceans and the importance of preserving and protecting these delicate ecosystems for future generations to enjoy and study.
