EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 34: Caesio lunaris, or the Lunar Fusilier, is depicted in this stunning nineteenth-century illustration by Louis-Isidore Duperrey from his Zoologie Atlas, published in 1826 following his Voyage de la Coquille expedition from 1822 to 1825. This beautiful fish, a member of the Caesionidae family and the Caesio genus, is characterized by its vibrant blue coloration and distinctive elongated pectoral and dorsal fins. The Caesio lunaris, also known as the Moon Fusilier or Lunar Perch, is a bony fish, belonging to the Actinopterygii class and the Perciformes order. Its body shape is typical of ray-finned fish, with a streamlined form and a single dorsal fin. The Caesio lunaris is a pelagic fish, found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. It is an important species in various marine ecosystems, playing a role in the food chain as both a predator and prey. The illustration captures the fish's unique features, including its large, round spots, which are particularly noticeable on its sides and tail. Louis-Isidore Duperrey was a French naval officer and naturalist who led the Coquille expedition, which aimed to explore the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The Zoologie Atlas was a significant outcome of this voyage, documenting a wide range of marine species discovered during the expedition. This illustration of the Caesio lunaris is a testament to the meticulous work carried out by Duperrey and his team during their explorations, providing valuable insights into the natural world and contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge.
