EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1864, showcases the striking beauty of Phrynorhombus norvegicus, also known as Ekstrom's Topknot or the Norwegian Topknot. This fascinating flatfish species, a native to the North Atlantic and Arctic seas, was named after the Swedish zoologist Johan Ekstrom, who first described it in 1862. The Ekstrom's Topknot is easily recognizable by its distinctive round, brown body with mottled, black markings and the distinctive topknot, a small, fleshy growth on the top of its head. This unique feature is believed to serve as a camouflage, helping the fish blend in with the seabed and avoid detection from predators. The 1860s was a time of great scientific discovery and exploration, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the natural world of over a century ago. The Ekstrom's Topknot, like many other marine species, continues to fascinate scientists and nature enthusiasts alike with its intricate design and adaptive features. This photograph, with its crisp details and rich history, serves as a reminder of the wonders that lie beneath the waves and the importance of preserving and protecting our marine ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. The Ekstrom's Topknot, a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, remains an enduring symbol of the mysteries of the deep.
