EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor print, titled "barrang ang" and created by Thomas Watling in the late 18th century, showcases the striking features of the Upeneichthys lineatus, or the blue-lined goatfish. Originally from the waters of Australasia, this beautiful bony fish is a member of the Perciformes order and the Mullidae family, commonly known as goatfish or barbeled mullets. The blue-lined goatfish is easily recognizable by its distinctive blue stripes that run horizontally along its body, contrasting against its silver scales. With a length of up to 40 centimeters, this cyprinid fish is a popular sight in the shallow, sandy waters of the Indo-Pacific region. Thomas Watling, an accomplished English naturalist and artist, created this illustration as part of the Watling Collection. The collection, which includes over 1,000 watercolor prints of various animals, was a significant contribution to the scientific documentation of the natural world during the 18th century. The blue-lined goatfish is an important species within the Actinopterygii, or bony fish, classification. Its unique anatomy, including its barbel-like sensory organs, allows it to navigate the ocean floor and locate food with ease. This fish is an essential component of the marine ecosystem and plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of the food chain. As you gaze at this beautiful watercolor print, take a moment to appreciate the intricate details of the blue-lined goatfish's scales, fins, and expressive eyes. This artwork not only serves as a stunning visual representation of this fascinating fish but also as a reminder of the rich natural history that exists within our oceans.
