Plate 35 from Zoological Drawings by Ferdinand Bauer: The Rainbow Cale, Odax acroptilus This exquisite illustration showcases the Rainbow Cale, Odax acroptilus, a medium-sized, weed-dwelling marine fish native to the coastlines of the south-west Pacific. The intricately detailed drawing, created by renowned natural history artist Ferdinand Bauer in the 18th century, reveals the fish's unique features and vibrant colors. The Rainbow Cale is easily identified by its mottled green body, adorned with iridescent rainbow stripes, and its distinctive, fused teeth which form a kind of serrated beak. These teeth are an essential adaptation for this bony fish, belonging to the Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fish, and the Perciformes, or perch-like fish, order. The Rainbow Cale is a member of the Odacidae family, commonly known as the lizardfish. This fish is well adapted to its marine environment, with a long, slender body and a prominent spine along its back. Its dorsal, pectoral, and anal fins are finely patterned, providing it with excellent maneuverability and camouflage among the underwater vegetation. Ferdinand Bauer's meticulous drawing captures the Rainbow Cale's striking appearance and the delicate details of its anatomy. As one of the many fascinating discoveries documented during the 18th century's Age of Enlightenment, this illustration remains an essential contribution to the scientific record of the natural world.
