Fish from the Ocean
In this gallery is an awesome set of sixteen color images of various Fish from the Ocean. The area they are from — The Indo-West Pacific — is a marine region that includes the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. You’ll find colorful illustrations of fish such as the Moorish Idol, Threadfin Butterflyfish, Three-toothed Pufferfish, 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 provided the original name of the creature as given in Renard’s book, and the translated, accepted, and common names given in Pietsch’s edition.
