The illustration, taken from Darwin's "Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle," provides a detailed view of the fish's distinctive features, including its large, round eyes, elongated dorsal fin, and forked caudal fin. The bigeye scad is a member of the Carangidae family, which belongs to the larger order of Perciformes, and the class of Osteichthyes. This illustration offers a unique glimpse into the anatomy of this intriguing fish, providing valuable insights into its structure and classification. Darwin's expedition to the Galapagos Islands in 1835 was a pivotal moment in the history of science, as it laid the foundation for his groundbreaking theories on evolution. The collection of specimens, including the bigeye scad, played a crucial role in Darwin's development of the theory of natural selection. The Galapagos Islands, part of the Galapagos Archipelago, are renowned for their unique and diverse wildlife, including a wide variety of fish species. The bigeye scad, with its striking appearance and intriguing anatomy, is just one example of the many fascinating creatures that call these islands home.
