EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 141 from the seminal work "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische: mit sechs und dreissig Ausgemalten Kupfern nach Originalen" (Natural History of Foreign Fishes: With Sixteen and Thirty Copperplates after Originals) by Marcus Elieser Bloch, features an exquisite illustration of the Striped Pufferfish, Arothron stellatus. Bloch's comprehensive work on fish, published between 1785 and 1795, was a groundbreaking achievement in the field of ichthyology during the 19th century. The Striped Pufferfish, also known as the Starry Puffer or Fahaka Puffer, is a small, round, and highly distinctive fish belonging to the Tetraodontidae family, which is characterized by its ability to inflate itself when threatened. This illustration showcases the Striped Pufferfish in its natural habitat, with its elongated snout, small eyes, and distinctive stripes running vertically down its body. The fish is depicted in its normal size, providing an accurate representation of its appearance. The intricate details of the fish's scales, fins, and gills are beautifully rendered, making this plate a remarkable example of the skill and artistry of the time. The Striped Pufferfish is native to the tropical waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It is a popular subject in the aquarium trade due to its unique appearance and interesting behavior. The fish is also an important food source in some regions, particularly in West Africa, where it is known as Fahaka or Fakah. Bloch's work was a significant contribution to the scientific community during the 19th century, providing a detailed and accurate record of the world's known fish species. The illustrations in this work remain an invaluable resource for ichthyologists and natural history enthusiasts today.
