Fish and shellfish species displayed in USA fish markets

This gallery contains images of fish and shellfish that I have acquired or borrowed for photography at Fulton Fish Market in New York City and at fish markets on the USA west coast and at USA seafood trade shows during the period 1982 to 1994. During this time I photographed over 1500 commercial fish and shellfish species.

Brazilian tilefish - Lopholatilus villarii

The Brazilian tilefish, Lopholatilus villarii, imported into the USA and sold at Fulton Fish Market in New York City in 1994. This species differs fom the commercial important tilefish off the eastern seaboard of the USA because it lacks the long adipose fin on the top of the head of the US tilefish, Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps. Tilefish is a deepwater fish living close to the bottom on the continental slope. It has white muscle which has a mild taste.

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.

Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.

Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.

The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.

Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
