EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to 1862, showcases two intriguing and distinctly different species of fish: the Three-Spined Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and the Tinker (Gasterosteus pungitius). The Three-Spined Stickleback, also known as Banstickle, Minnis, Sharpling, and Pricklefish, is a small, spiny fish native to the North Atlantic and North Sea. With three spines on its dorsal fin, this species is well-adapted to its rocky, shallow water habitat. In stark contrast, the Tinker, or Ten-Spined Stickleback, is another tiny, spiny fish native to the North Atlantic and Baltic Seas. As suggested by its name, this species boasts ten spines on its dorsal fin. Both species were popular subjects for naturalists and collectors during the Victorian era, as they were relatively easy to find and study. The photograph, taken in the 1860s, showcases these two species in their natural habitat, preserved in a glass jar filled with water. The clear water allows for a detailed view of their striking features, including their vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The Three-Spined Stickleback is depicted with a reddish-orange body and black spots, while the Tinker displays a silver body with dark spots and a distinctive black stripe running along its side. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of these two species, providing a window into the marine life of the past. It serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in our oceans and the importance of preserving and studying these unique creatures for future generations.
