This image, produced by the skilled hands of George Shaw and Frederick Nodder, offers a glimpse into the intricacies of marine life during the late 18th century. 3. The Shi Drum Fish, also known as the Drummer Fish or the Shadfish, is a small, elongated, and laterally compressed fish that inhabits the shallow, tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
