EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1870s, showcases two stunningly beautiful and historically significant species of char fish: the Torgoch (Salvelinus alpinus) and the Alpine Charr (Salvelinus alpinus alpinus). The image, dated 1879, transports us back to a time when natural wonders were a source of fascination and exploration. The Torgoch, also known as the Arctic Char, Welsh Charr, or Welsh Torgoch, is a native freshwater fish found in the mountainous regions of Europe, including Wales. With its distinctive grey-blue body, orange spots, and white markings, this char is a sight to behold. The Torgoch is a cold-water fish, thriving in clear, cold lakes and rivers. Its ability to survive in harsh conditions has made it an iconic symbol of the natural world. The Alpine Charr, on the other hand, is a subspecies of the Arctic Char, found in the high-altitude lakes of the European Alps. This char is characterized by its orange-red body, white spots, and grey spots along its back. The Alpine Charr is an adaptation to its mountainous habitat, with the ability to survive in extreme temperatures and low oxygen levels. This photograph, taken over a century ago, is a testament to the beauty and resilience of these fascinating fish species. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving natural habitats and appreciating the wonders of the natural world. The Torgoch and Alpine Charr continue to captivate us with their unique appearances and intriguing adaptations, making them a source of inspiration for generations to come.
