1865 Farthing Fishes Palmer Parr Salar Salmo Species Spots Spotted Trotter Trout 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1865, showcases two magnificent specimens of the Salmonidae family: Salmo salar, also known as the Atlantic Salmon, and Salmo salmulus, or the Brown Trout. The Atlantic Salmon, depicted on the left, is a large, silver-gray fish with distinctive red and orange spots covering its body. A native of the North Atlantic, this anadromous fish is renowned for its incredible migration from freshwater to the ocean and back again to spawn. On the right, the Brown Trout, or Salmo salmulus, displays a more compact, golden-yellow body with irregular black spots. This freshwater fish is native to European waters and is known for its adaptability to various habitats. The common names for the Brown Trout include Parr and Samlet, as well as Branlin, Palmer Trout, Trotter, Hipper, and Farthing Trout. This photograph, taken during the Victorian era, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of these remarkable fish species. The intricately patterned scales and the vibrant colors of the fish are beautifully captured, providing a window into the rich biodiversity of the past. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the importance of preserving the delicate balance of aquatic ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
