EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a nineteenth-century illustration of the Red Squirrelfish, Sargocentron hastatum, and the Clown Anemonefish, Amphiprion percula, taken from Plate 25 of Louis-Isidore Duperrey's "Voyage de la Coquille" (1822-1825) Zoologie Atlas, published in 1826. The illustration, which features a vibrant orange Clown Anemonefish nestled among the tentacles of an anemone, and a long, slender Red Squirrelfish with distinctive white markings on its body, provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich marine life of the nineteenth century. Duperrey's "Voyage de la Coquille" was a significant contribution to the scientific community during this period, documenting the natural history of various species encountered during the expedition. The illustrations, produced by skilled artists and engravers, were meticulously detailed and showcased the unique features of each species. The Clown Anemonefish, also known as the Amphiprion percula or the Orange Clownfish, is a popular and well-known marine species. They are characterized by their bright orange coloration and distinctive white stripes. These small, tropical bony fish are found in the Indo-Pacific region and are often found living among the tentacles of sea anemones for protection. The Red Squirrelfish, a member of the Holocentridae family, is a long, slender fish with a distinctive white spot on its dorsal fin. They are found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and are known for their ability to change color to blend in with their surroundings. This fish is a beryciform, which means it has a unique body shape with a deep, laterally compressed body and large pectoral fins. This beautiful illustration not only showcases the intricate details of these fascinating species but also provides a glimpse into the scientific exploration of the natural world during the nineteenth century.
