Fish in the Ocean
On this page are eighteen incredible color drawings depicting Fish in the Ocean. Included are images of Groupers, Parrotfish, Wrasse, and many more. They were supposedly found in the Western Indo-Pacific, which comprise the tropical waters of the eastern and central Indian Ocean. The illustrations 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 included the original name of the creature as given in Renard’s book, as well as the translated, accepted, and common names given in Pietsch’s edition. If you’re enjoying these incredible images of Fish in the Ocean, be sure to take a peek at the galleries with more Creatures Deep in the Ocean and more Fish Art. Enjoy!
