EDITORS COMMENTS
Sail Fluke (Zeugopterus velivolans), circa 1864 This image showcases the Sail Fluke, scientifically known as Zeugopterus velivolans, a fascinating flatfish species native to the North Atlantic Ocean. The photograph, taken in the mid-1860s, offers a glimpse into the rich marine life of the Victorian era. The Sail Fluke, also known as the Sail Sole or the Velvet Sole, is a flatfish with a unique appearance. Its body is beige and flat, with both eyes on the right side, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the sandy seafloor. However, it is the large, wing-like pectoral fins that give this fish its intriguing name. These fins, which can be expanded like sails, help the Sail Fluke maneuver through the water and camouflage itself on the ocean floor. The Sail Fluke is a valuable addition to the diverse marine ecosystems of the North Atlantic. It plays a crucial role in the food chain, serving as both a predator and prey. Its diet consists mainly of small crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates. This photograph, taken over a century and a half ago, offers a window into the natural history of the Sail Fluke and the marine world of the 1860s. It is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the ocean, which continues to inspire wonder and fascination to this day.
