EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration, taken from W.H. Houghton's seminal work "British Freshwater Fishes," published in 1879, showcases the intricate details of the Clupea finta, also known as the twaite shad or twait. The twaite shad is a member of the Clupeidae family, which includes herrings and other related fish. This particular species is a clupeiform, meaning it belongs to the order Clupeiformes, which includes the more commonly known herring and sardines. The twaite shad is a slender, elongated fish, characterized by its forked tail and silver scales. It is a bony fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, which means it has ray-finned pectoral and dorsal fins. The twaite shad is a freshwater fish, and is often found in the rivers and streams of Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom. The twaite shad is a close relative of the sea-dwelling Alosa, which includes the Alosa fallax, Alosa agone, and Alosa alosa, or the European shad. Despite their similarities, the twaite shad is adapted to life in freshwater, with a more elongated body and a greater number of vertebrae. This illustration, captured by the skilled hand of W.H. Houghton, provides a stunning and accurate representation of the twaite shad's anatomy and coloration. The silver scales shimmer in the light, and the forked tail fin is clearly visible, ready to propel the fish through the water. The twaite shad is a beautiful and fascinating creature, and this illustration serves as a testament to its unique beauty and importance in the natural world.
