EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 111 from the seminal work "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" (Natural History of Foreign Fishes) by Marcus Elieser Bloch, features an intricately detailed illustration of the American Toadfish, Lophius histrio. Published between 1785 and 1795, this work was a groundbreaking contribution to the field of ichthyology, showcasing a diverse array of fish species from around the world. The American Toadfish, also known as the Sargassum Fish or Angler Toadfish, is a unique member of the Anglerfish family (Lophiiformes) and the Antennariidae subfamily. This fascinating creature, depicted in the illustration, is characterized by its large head and distensible mouth, which is lined with bioluminescent organs called photophores. The American Toadfish uses its modified dorsal spine, which acts as a lure, to attract prey in the deep, dark waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The illustration captures the Toadfish's unique features with remarkable accuracy, from its elongated dorsal fin to its mottled, brownish-gray coloration. Marcus Elieser Bloch was a renowned naturalist and artist, whose meticulous illustrations were based on original specimens. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the plates in "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" were a testament to Bloch's dedication and expertise. This particular plate, with its captivating representation of the American Toadfish, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the ocean during the late 18th century and the early days of marine science.
