EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1865, showcases three intriguing fish species native to European waters: the European Halfbeak (Hemiramphus europaeus), Blunt-Headed Halfbeak (Hemiramphus obtusus), and Skipper (Scomberesox saurus), also known as the Atlantic Saury, Skopster, Mackarel Garrick, and Haliou. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the European marine environment. The European Halfbeak, with its distinctive elongated snout and slender body, is a small, silver fish that inhabits the shallow coastal waters of the North Atlantic. Its elongated jaw and sharp teeth enable it to feed on plankton and small invertebrates. The Blunt-Headed Halfbeak, as its name suggests, has a more rounded head than its European counterpart. This small, silver fish is also found in the North Atlantic and feeds primarily on plankton and small crustaceans. The Skipper, a silver, slender fish with a distinctive black lateral line, is a pelagic species that migrates from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. It is an important food source for larger predators and is also valued as a food fish for humans. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the European marine environment and the importance of preserving it for future generations. The European Halfbeak, Blunt-Headed Halfbeak, and Skipper continue to thrive in European waters, providing a vital role in the marine food chain and offering a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past.
