Day 13 brings a real splash of colour to #25DaysOfFishmas. This crimson critter is Barbourisia rufa, the velvet whalefish. Barbourisia is found in temperate and tropical waters around the world, at depths of ~300-2000m, and is, of course, the only member of the Barbourisiidae.

🦈 Petri Bellonii Cenomani De aquatilibus, libri duo cum [epsilon, iota] conibus ad viuam ipsorum effigiem, quoad eius fieri potuit, expressis ... Parisiis, Apud C. Stephanum, 1553.

Illustration of a hammerhead shark from a 1553 Latin text, depicted in a side view with its distinctive wide, flat, hammer-shaped head clearly detailed. The shark’s elongated body shows textured scales, multiple fins, and a slightly curved tail. The head features prominent eyes positioned on the outer edges, emphasizing its unique shape compared to typical sharks. The image is accompanied by historical Latin descriptive text above, referencing classical authorities and regional names for the species. The style is typical of 16th-century natural history woodcut illustrations, with fine line work and a scientific focus on anatomical accuracy.

🍃 The natural history of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands: .
London: printed for C. Marsh [etc.]1754..

Illustration from 1754 showing a long, slender snake with dark brown, textured scales and a forked tongue extended. The snake is coiled loosely around a flowering plant with green leaves and pink tubular buds, one flower fully open with star-shaped petals. The style is detailed and naturalistic, capturing both the snake’s and the plant’s features for scientific study related to the natural history of Carolina. The background is plain, focusing attention on the subjects.

日本産カワヤツメ属
Lethenteron Creaser & Hubbs, 1922
日本産カワヤツメ属オス成魚のイラスト集(黒背景、左向き)左に各種の口孔周辺の歯の線画を示す。 上から順に ミナミスナヤツメ Lethenteron hattai (非寄生・河川性) 秋田県〜長崎県の本州・四国・九州、朝鮮半島南部に分布。躯幹部筋節数は５３〜６０。鰓孔間下側に感丘群がある。尾鰭は菱形。かつてスナヤツメ南方種 Lethenteron ｓｐ. Ｓとして知られていた種。遺伝的にはカワヤツメ属を含めた他のカワヤツメ亜科魚類と極めて遠縁であり、今後属名の変更を含めた分類の再検討が必要である。 ウチワスナヤツメ Lethenteron satoi (非寄生・河川性) 北海道の石狩川水系に分布。躯幹部筋節数は５５〜６１。歯の角質化は弱く、上口歯板や下口歯板の先端は丸い。鰭は楕円形。２０２４年まで存在が知られていなかった種であり、生態や保全状況に関する情報は不足している。遺伝的には他のカワヤツメ属魚類と異なる系統に位置しており、今後分類の再検討が必要である。 キタスナヤツメ Lethenteron mitsukurii (非寄生・河川性) 北海道、滋賀県以北の本州に分布。躯幹部筋節数は５９〜６５。尾鰭は菱形。かつてスナヤツメ北方種 Lethenteron ｓｐ. Ｎとして知られていた種。ミナミスナヤツメと形態が酷似するが、遺伝的にはシベリアヤツメやカワヤツメに近縁。 シベリアヤツメ Lethenteron reissneri (非寄生・河川性) アムール川水系、サハリン、北海道、青森県に分布。岩手県の集団は絶滅。躯幹部筋節数は６８〜７５。第２背鰭先端の黒色斑と尾鰭の黒色域の明瞭さには変異がある。カワヤツメに近縁で、カワヤツメ河川型とは遺伝的にも形態的にも酷似する。日本産 L. kessleriは本種。 カワヤツメ Lethenteron camtschaticum (寄生・降海性/一部非寄生・河川性) 日本を含む北西太平洋に分布。躯幹部筋節数は６５〜７７。第２背鰭先端と尾鰭は明瞭に黒い。一部水系では変態後降海せずそのまま繁殖に参加する個体もみられる(河川型)。L. japonicumは本種のシノニム。 筋節数は(Sakai et al. 2024; Naseka and Renaud, 2020)を元にした。

🦞 Voyage au pole sud et dans l'Océanie sur les corvettes l'Astrolabe et la Zélée: Paris: Gide et J. Baudry ..., 1842-1853.

[Source]
Historical scientific illustration from "Voyage au pole sud et dans l'Océanie" (1842-1853) depicting two species of crabs. The top crab is reddish-brown with a rounded, spiny carapace and long, slender legs. Below it is a larger greenish crab with broad, powerful black-tipped claws and a more oval, rugged shell. Surrounding the crabs are detailed drawn sketches highlighting specific anatomical parts, such as claws and mouthparts. The illustration is finely detailed, showing textures, limb segmentation, and claw shapes, providing a comprehensive view of the species' morphology for scientific study. The style reflects 19th-century natural history lithography.
