Fish-eye view of a haul of halibut on a rack

Halibut haul. Fish-eye view of a haul of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus stenolepis) hanging on a rack in Homer, Alaska, USA. Halibut are the largest of the flatfish, and are an important and delicious food fish. They prefer living on sandy seabeds, and are found as deep as one kilometre down. They mainly eat other fish, although lobsters and squid are also taken. They are themselves eaten by sharks and seals, and of course humans. They have been hunted for centuries by native American Indians. A vitamin-rich oil is obtained from their liver, which can be taken as a dietary supplement

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing fish-eye view of a bountiful haul of Pacific halibut hanging on a rack in Homer, Alaska. These magnificent creatures, known as the largest flatfish species, are not only important to the fishing industry but also highly regarded for their delectable taste. With an affinity for sandy seabeds, these remarkable halibuts can be found dwelling as deep as one kilometer below the surface. Feeding primarily on other fish while occasionally indulging in lobsters and squid, these majestic beings hold a significant place in the marine food chain. However, they too fall prey to sharks and seals who share their appetite for this succulent delicacy. For centuries, native American Indians have skillfully hunted these prized halibuts. Beyond their culinary value lies another treasure – a vitamin-rich oil extracted from their livers that serves as a dietary supplement. This awe-inspiring photograph captures not just the beauty of nature's creation but also sheds light on the intricate relationship between humans and marine life. Presented by Science Photo Library with utmost precision and artistry, this print invites us to appreciate both the magnificence of these incredible creatures and our connection with them through sustenance and cultural heritage.
