EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Ireland's rich fishing heritage, featuring two fresh water herring, or Pollan (Coregonus pollan), carefully arranged on a grey background. The fish, each measuring approximately 20 centimeters long, are dwarfed by a penny for scale, highlighting their small size. The Pollan is a native species of herring found in the waters of Lough Neagh, the largest freshwater lake in Ireland. In the early 1900s, Lough Neagh was a significant source of food for the local population and an important export market. The fish were primarily caught using traditional methods, such as seines and gill nets, and were often sold to markets in Belfast and Liverpool. The Mysis shrimp (Mysis religiosa), a key food source for the Pollan, can be seen in the water behind the fish. This image, with its timeless quality and intriguing details, offers a glimpse into Ireland's past, showcasing the importance of its natural resources and the connection between people and the environment.
