EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a Southern Pigfish, Congiopodus leucopaecilus, a remarkable discovery made during the Ross Expedition to Antarctica aboard HMS Erebus and Terror in 1839. Led by Sir James Clark Ross, this historic voyage was not only focused on exploring the uncharted territories of Antarctica but also on studying the abundant marine life in the surrounding waters. The Southern Pigfish, a new species at the time, was found in the waters around Australia and New Zealand, expanding the known biodiversity of the region. Belonging to the family Congiopodidae and the order Scorpaeniformes, this ray-finned fish is characterized by its elongated body, small mouth, and distinctive white spots on its sides. Southern Pigfish are actinopterygians, or bony fish, and are commonly found in shallow, temperate waters. This specimen, with its vibrant colors and intriguing features, offers a glimpse into the rich marine ecosystems that were explored during the Ross Expedition. The Ross Expedition was significant in advancing scientific knowledge of the Antarctic region and its marine life. This photograph, a testament to the discoveries made during that time, continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the natural world.
