EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated back to 1862, showcases the exquisite beauty of Mullus surmuletus, commonly known as the Striped Red Mullet or Surmullet, a vibrant and intriguing species of goatfish. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, captures the fish in its natural habitat, revealing its distinctive orange and yellow stripes that run the length of its body, merging seamlessly with the golden hues of the sandy seabed. Mullus surmuletus is a small, coastal fish native to the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas. With an average length of around 20 cm, this species is characterized by its unique elongated dorsal fin, which resembles the horns of a goat, giving it the common name of goatfish. The Striped Red Mullet is a popular subject among naturalists and marine enthusiasts due to its striking appearance and intriguing behavior. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich marine life of the 1860s, providing a window into the natural world that existed before the era of mass commercialization and industrialization. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the delicate balance of marine ecosystems, which continue to inspire awe and wonder in generations to come.
