EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1879, showcases two intriguing fish species native to European waters: the Eurasian Ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua) and the Millers Thumb (Cottus gobio). The Eurasian Ruffe, also known as the Ruff, Jack Ruff, Ruffe, and Pope, is a small, slender fish with a distinctive elongated dorsal fin and a round, flat head. Its body is adorned with a beautiful silver sheen, with dark spots along its sides. The Millers Thumb, on the other hand, is a freshwater species, also known as the Freshwater Sculpin, European Bullhead, River Bullhead, and Common Bullhead. This fish is easily recognizable by its large, fleshy barbel, which resembles a thumb, giving it its unique name. Its body is brownish-gray with dark spots and a white belly. The photograph was likely taken during the Victorian era, a time when natural history was a popular pursuit among the educated elite. The rural countryside provided ample opportunities for exploration and discovery, and the collection of specimens was a common pastime. This image captures the essence of that era, with its focus on the natural world and the beauty of its inhabitants. The Eurasian Ruffe and Millers Thumb are both important species in their respective habitats. The Eurasian Ruffe is a schooling fish that can be found in shallow, clear waters, while the Millers Thumb prefers quiet, slow-moving waters with a soft bottom. Both species play crucial roles in their ecosystems and continue to fascinate scientists and nature enthusiasts alike.
