Creatures In The Ocean

Creatures in the Ocean

In this gallery you’ll discover sixteen amazing illustrations of Creatures in the Ocean. Included are drawings of a Mantis Shrimp, Convex Pebble Crab, Zebra Lionfish, and many more. They come from the book Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes…, which was written by Mr. Louis Renard in 1754. Translations from the original French and other languages are taken from Fishes, Crayfishes and Crabs: Louis Renard’s Natural History of the Rarest Curiosities of the Seas of the Indies authored by Professor Theodore W. Pietsch in 1995. In each description, I’ve given the original name of the creature as written in Renard’s book, and the translated, accepted, and common names given in Pietsch’s edition. If you’re enjoying these wondrous images of Creatures in the Ocean, be sure to make time to look at the pages with more Creatures under the Sea and Images of Ocean Fish. Enjoy!
