EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a preserved specimen jar filled with Coryphaenoides sp. rattail fish, collected during the historic Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger (1872-1876) off the coast of South Australia. Funded by the British Government for scientific discovery, the Challenger expedition was a groundbreaking journey that advanced our understanding of the world's oceans. The rattail fish, a member of the Macrouridae family and the order Gadiformes, is a common species found in the deep waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. This particular specimen was likely caught in the Australasian region during the Challenger's exploration of the Southern Hemisphere. The fish, with its elongated body and distinctively long, slender tail, is a representative of the Actinopterygii class, characterized by their bony skeletons and ray-finned swimming appendages. The Coryphaenoides genus includes over 100 species, many of which are commercially important as food sources. However, this photograph does not depict the fish for commercial purposes but rather for scientific study. The rattail fish in the jar is preserved in spirit, a common method of preservation used during the Challenger expedition to maintain the specimens for further examination back in the laboratory. This specimen serves as a testament to the remarkable discoveries made during the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger and the significant impact it had on our knowledge of the world's marine life.
