EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1865, showcases the exquisite beauty of the Coregonus pollan, or Pollan, a freshwater whitefish native to five Irish lakes. The Pollan, a member of the Salmonidae family, is a historical and natural marvel that has graced the waters of Ireland for centuries. During the Victorian era, as natural history became a popular pursuit, the discovery and documentation of new species, particularly those in their native habitats, was a source of great fascination. This photograph, taken over a century and a half ago, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the wonder and diversity of the natural world as it was perceived during that time. The Pollan, also known as the Irish Pollan or the silver-yellow whitefish, can be identified by its distinctive silver-yellow coloration and elongated body shape. It is a freshwater fish that thrives in the clear, cold waters of its native Irish lakes. The Pollan is an essential part of the ecosystem, serving as both a predator and a prey species, and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the aquatic food chain. This photograph, a testament to the rich natural history of Ireland, transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at the beauty and intrigue of the Coregonus pollan, a species that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
