Atlantic salmon - Grilse, Smolt and Parr, 1887, (1946). Creator: Unknown
Atlantic salmon - Grilse, Smolt and Parr, 1887, (1946). At different points in their maturation and life cycle, Atlantic salmon are known as parr, smolt, grilse, grilt, kelt, slink, and spring salmon. It was not until the early 19th century that it was proven that the adult Atlantic salmon was the same species as the striped parr found in the rivers. When the young parr begin to migrate to the sea, they gradually become more elongated and the body becomes more silvery in colour. They then undergo a physiological pre-adaptation to life in seawater and become smolts. A grilse is an Atlantic salmon which has spent only one winter at sea before returning to the river. Illustration from " British and Irish Salmonidae" by Francis Day. Published in " British Anglers Natural History, by E. G. Boulenger. [Collins, London, 1946]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Atlantic salmon - Grilse, Smolt and Parr" showcases the various stages of maturation and life cycle of Atlantic salmon. Created in 1887 but published in 1946, this illustration by an unknown artist sheds light on the fascinating transformation these fish undergo. Before the early 19th century, it was not widely known that adult Atlantic salmon and striped parr found in rivers were actually the same species. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of these magnificent creatures. As depicted in the print, young parr gradually transform as they migrate to the sea, becoming more elongated with a silvery body coloration. This physiological adaptation prepares them for life in seawater, transforming them into smolts. The print also introduces us to another stage called grilse – an Atlantic salmon that has spent only one winter at sea before returning to its river of origin. The intricate details captured by Francis Day in his book "British Anglers Natural History" published by William Collins in London during 1946, provide valuable insights into British aquatic life. This chromolithograph serves as a window into both natural history and social history alike. It allows us to appreciate how scientific knowledge has evolved over time while also showcasing Britain's rich fishing heritage. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print is a testament to the beauty and complexity of nature's wonders.
