EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1870s, showcases a stunning example of Salmo stomachicus, also known as Gillaroo or Gizzard Trout, a unique and vibrant species of trout native to Lough Melvin in Ireland. The image, captured over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of Ireland during the Victorian era. The Gillaroo is distinguished by its striking yellow, orange, brown, and black spots, which cover its body in a mesmerizing pattern. This beautiful fish, with its large gills and gizzard-like stomach, is a true marvel of the natural world. Lough Melvin, located in County Leitrim and County Fermanagh, is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and diverse aquatic life, making it an ideal habitat for the Gillaroo. This pristine lake, nestled in the rolling hills of Ireland, has long been a source of wonder and inspiration for naturalists, anglers, and artists alike. As you gaze at this photograph, you can almost feel the cool waters of Lough Melvin lapping at the shore, and hear the gentle lapping of the waves against the banks. The Gillaroo, with its striking appearance and intriguing name, serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world that existed long before the modern age. This photograph, a testament to the natural history of Ireland in the late 1800s, invites us to appreciate the wonders of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations. The Gillaroo, with its vibrant colors and unique features, remains a symbol of the rich biodiversity that can be found in the waters of Lough Melvin and beyond.
