EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to 1863, showcases the Centrolophus pompilus, also known as the Blackfish, Pompiles, Rudder Fish, Black Ruff, or simply the Blackfish. This intriguing marine species is a member of the Centrolophidae family, native to the temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The Blackfish is a slender, elongated fish, characterized by its dark, almost black coloration, and distinctive, fan-like pectoral fins. These features earned it various names, such as the Black Ruff and the Black Pompilus. In the Victorian era, when this photograph was taken, naturalists and collectors were fascinated by the diverse and often enigmatic creatures that inhabited the world's oceans. The Blackfish is an important part of the marine ecosystem, playing a role in the food chain as both a predator and prey species. Its elongated body and streamlined shape make it an agile and efficient swimmer, allowing it to navigate the vast, open waters with ease. This photograph, taken over 150 years ago, offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Blackfish and the fascination that these creatures held for Victorians. It serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in our oceans and the importance of preserving and protecting these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
