Beautiful and ethereal larvae of the #lionfish (Pterois volitans). Adults of this species are invasive to the Atlantic coast in N. America where they have enjoyed a reign of terror for the past 20 years.

This is a larvae of the flatteringly called Bony-Eared Assfish. In this case, beauty really favours the young.

It seems like #PortfolioDay is upon us again. I make black and white #sciart on #marinebiology , #ichthyology and general #scicomm themes. Below are examples of fish diversity, seadevil development, perch anatomy and a kelp forest scene. Find more here: jessieggers.com

A coral reef scene and my first experiment with Gouache! It's been really exciting to try a new medium, though there's still lots to learn :) let me know what you think :)

Love this ponyfish print from Jessica Eggers - now in a prominent place above my desk (check out her other illustrations from on her website jessieggers.com)

The atlantic #mackerel has beautiful striped marks that serve not only as an illusionary camouflage but also to coordinate and to pace the synchronous moving within the group.

I was featured by the Integrated & Comparative Biology blog! Thank you [email protected] !

Regalecus glesne or the giant oarfish is thought to be the longest bony fish known to us, with some specimen measuring up to 11 meters in length. In their free time they love to hang vertically in the water column. #sciart #fishart #ichthyology #scicomm #marinebiology #oarfish
