EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1870s, showcases a remarkable gathering of four distinct lamprey species: the Sea Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), Lampern or European River Lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis), Planer Lamprey (Petromyzon planeri), and Pride or European River Lamprey and Brook Lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis or Petromyzon branchialis). The image, a testament to the natural world's intricacy and diversity, transports us back to a time when such discoveries were still a source of wonder and fascination. Sea Lampreys, with their elongated, parasitic mouths, are well-known for attaching themselves to larger fish to feed. In contrast, the Lampern, Planer Lamprey, and Pride, all European River Lampreys, are eel-like fish that spawn in freshwater and migrate to the sea to feed before returning to freshwater to reproduce. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the late 19th century. The Sea Lamprey, with its prehistoric appearance, was a subject of scientific interest and debate during this time due to its parasitic nature. The Lampern, Planer Lamprey, and Pride, on the other hand, were essential components of the European freshwater ecosystem. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world, as well as the role of scientific inquiry in understanding the complex relationships between various species. The lampreys, with their unique characteristics and ecological significance, continue to captivate researchers and nature enthusiasts alike, making this image a valuable addition to any collection of historical natural history photographs.
