EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1865, showcases the stunning beauty of Coregonus pennantii, also known as the Gwyniad or Guiniad, a native freshwater whitefish species indigenous to Bala Lake in north Wales. The image transports us back to the Victorian era, where the natural world was a source of fascination and exploration. The Gwyniad is a member of the Salmonidae family, characterized by its elongated, slender body and silver scales that shimmer in the sunlight. This particular specimen, expertly captured in the photograph, exhibits the species' distinctive features, including its small mouth, dorsal fin, and lateral line running along its side. Bala Lake, also known as Llyn Tegid, has long been renowned for its rich and diverse aquatic life. The Gwyniad is just one of the many fascinating species that call this body of water home. In the 1860s, the natural world was a source of great curiosity, and the discovery of new species, like the Gwyniad, fueled a growing interest in the scientific community. This photograph serves as a testament to the natural history of Bala Lake and the Gwyniad, a species that continues to thrive in its native waters. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, while also reminding us of the importance of preserving and protecting these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
