EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 32A from Zoological Drawings by Ferdinand Bauer showcases a detailed illustration of the Favonigobius sp. goby, a small, intricately designed marine fish native to estuaries and shallow waters. This stunning 18th century drawing, created by the skilled hand of Ferdinand Bauer, offers a captivating glimpse into the anatomy of this fascinating bony fish. The goby's head is depicted in profile, revealing its small, beady eyes, which are positioned on the upper part of its head, allowing it to keep a constant watch for predators. The mouth is small and located beneath the eyes, equipped with several sharp teeth. The body is elongated and slender, with a laterally compressed shape that enables the goby to maneuver easily in its aquatic environment. The goby's tail is finely illustrated, displaying the caudal fin's delicate structure, which is essential for propulsion and stability in the water. The pelvic fins, located near the goby's midline, are also visible, providing the fish with the ability to change color and blend in with its surroundings for camouflage. As a member of the Gobiidae family, this goby is classified as a perciform fish, belonging to the order Perciformes, and the class Osteichthyes (bony fish). The Favonigobius sp. goby, also known as the prawn goby or prawngoby, is a valuable addition to the vast array of marine life documented by Ferdinand Bauer in his meticulous zoological drawings.
