This is a fine print reproduction of a colorful NOAA educational poster illustrating marine fishes of the North Atlantic, published around 1975. The chart brings together dozens of species in a detailed underwater scene designed for both public education and fish identification.
Familiar commercial and game fishes such as cod, mackerel, tuna, and swordfish are shown alongside pufferfish, wrasse, skates, and other coastal and offshore species. The range of forms illustrates the diversity of fish inhabiting North Atlantic waters, from bottom-dwelling species to fast-swimming ocean predators.
Each fish is depicted with identifying features and naturalistic coloration, and an index provides its common and scientific name. A harbor scene with boats, piers, and rolling waves runs across the top, above the vivid green underwater background. Issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA, the poster was created to encourage knowledge of marine species and fisheries. Its scientific illustrations and engaging design make it a distinctive example of twentieth-century natural history art.
NOTE: The identification table contains small text that may be difficult to read in our smaller print sizes.
