EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to 1862, showcases the vibrant and intricately patterned Pagellus Curtus, also known as the Short Sea Bream or Orange-spotted Bream. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era of the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the marine world. The Short Sea Bream is a popular and highly prized edible fish species, native to the Mediterranean and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. With its distinctive orange and yellow spots on a silver background, this fish is not only visually striking but also an essential component of various marine ecosystems. This photograph, taken over a century and a half ago, showcases the beauty and diversity of the natural world that existed before the onset of extensive commercial fishing and environmental degradation. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving marine habitats and protecting the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. The Short Sea Bream is a valuable species not just for its culinary delights but also for its role in maintaining a healthy marine ecosystem. It is an omnivorous fish that feeds on a variety of organisms, including plankton, mollusks, and small fish. As a result, it plays a crucial role in the food chain and helps to control populations of other marine species. This photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations. The Short Sea Bream, with its striking colors and intricate patterns, continues to captivate and inspire us, reminding us of the beauty and diversity of the marine world.
