EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, captured in the late 1860s, showcases the enigmatic Slender Sunfish, scientifically known as Ranzania laevis or Cephalus oblongus, a fascinating marine species belonging to the Molidae family, also referred to as Sunfish or Molas. The Slender Sunfish, with its distinctive elongated body and grey coloration, is often mistakenly identified as the Longer Sunfish or Orthagoriscus orthagoriscus. The Slender Sunfish, native to the temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, is a rare and elusive creature, seldom encountered by fishermen and marine researchers alike. With its unique appearance and intriguing characteristics, it has long fascinated naturalists and collectors of the Victorian era. This photograph, taken over 150 years ago, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the natural world of the late 19th century. The Slender Sunfish, with its serene expression and ethereal aura, seems to defy the conventions of the time, embodying the sense of wonder and discovery that characterized the scientific exploration of the natural world during the Victorian era. As we marvel at the beauty and mystery of this ancient creature, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and protecting the rich biodiversity of our oceans, ensuring that future generations can continue to be inspired by the wonders of the natural world.
