Trigla, a name that echoes through ancient Germanic mythology and the depths of the sea. In the realm of gods and kings, Flins and Radgost ruled with power and might. But it is not just in tales of old where Trigla finds its place. Trigla lyra, known as Piper Gurnard, dances gracefully beneath the waves. Its vibrant colors reminiscent of handcoloured copperplate engravings depicting ancient Germanic deities like Svetovid and Triglav. A creature both mythical and real, bridging worlds unseen. But Trigla does not stand alone in this watery kingdom. Tub gurnards and black scorpion-fish lurk nearby, their presence adding an air of mystery to these underwater realms. Streaked gurnards like Trigloporus lastoviza swim alongside Grey gurnards such as Eutrigla gurnardus - a tapestry woven by nature herself. Piper Gurnard or Trigla lyra glides effortlessly through the currents while Tub gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerna) displays its unique beauty for all to see. Blochs Gurnard or Trigla cuculus adds another layer to this aquatic symphony with its distinct markings. Lanthorn Gurnard and Little Gurnard join this grand spectacle too - Picture No. 11676361 comes alive before our eyes. And let us not forget about Trigla Hirundo (Chelidonichthys Lucernus), a species that captivates with every movement.

So let us embrace the enchantment that lies within each flicker of fin from these majestic creatures called Triglas.
