Grenadier fish packed in ice after being caught
Fishing catch. Grenadier fish, suborder Macrouroidei, packed in ice after being caught by a trawler. Grenadier fish, related to cod, live 300 metres or more below the surface. The fish have been packed in ice to preserve them until the trawler can reach a port. Although tasty, grenadier fish are rarely used for human consumption due to their hard skin

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the aftermath of a successful fishing catch. The image captures the sight of grenadier fish, a type of fish belonging to the suborder Macrouroidei, carefully packed in ice after being caught by a trawler. Grenadier fish, closely related to cod, are known for their ability to survive at extreme depths of 300 meters or more below the ocean's surface. The purpose behind packing these delicate creatures in ice is to preserve them until they can be transported safely to a port. Despite their delectable taste, grenadier fish are rarely utilized for human consumption due to their tough skin. This fact adds an intriguing layer of mystery and curiosity surrounding this unique species. The frozen scene depicted in this photograph not only highlights the skill and expertise required within the fishing industry but also sheds light on various aspects such as fish preservation techniques and challenges faced by fishermen when dealing with low-resilience species like grenadier fish. Moreover, it subtly raises awareness about bottom trawling practices that impact marine ecosystems. Science Photo Library once again delivers an awe-inspiring visual representation that prompts viewers to ponder upon our relationship with nature and its resources without mentioning any commercial use or specific company details.
