The Melon Butterflyfish and a XVIII Scotish surgeon - 1001fishes project
During last week's #1001fishes project, I have drawn and painted a Melon Butterflyfish. I will take you along to discover Mungo Park, the man who described it. 

![IMG_20191102_082558.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb6zLEzTWk6miEC3WkpsWCdPB3TXu5rjew9aVLPVGmuQx/IMG_20191102_082558.jpg)

**The Man behind a fish** 

Mungo Park is a Scotish explorer from the 18th century, who's famous for his west African expeditions. In the late 18th the west Africa and especially the Niger source was unexplored by Europeans. In 1795 M.Park made his first attempt to the Niger's highest point. This adventure was written and published by himself at his return the same year. He attempted his second West African expedition in 1805, were he died, drown in the Niger after the lost of most of his expedition members in an assault by some indigenous.

![Mungo_Park_portrait_bw.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXRSKLKZKsMXQWcVHW5dC7JsZxmc9mZaayeAdWsDbzCaW/Mungo_Park_portrait_bw.jpg)

This is not the story I will tell you today, because I like fishes, and there is no fishes involved in the West Africans expeditions *(Well, maybe some fishes ate Park's body but its not related)*. Mungo's first expedition was on the East India Company's *Worcester* vessel as an assistant surgeon, in 1793 the 43.5m full rigged ship (with means with three or more masts, all of them square rigged). During this journey it stops in a quite important place for our little fish : Benkulen, Soumatra. Back to London in 1904, he gave a lecture to the *Linnaean Society* about 8 new fishes species of Sumatra he described. He published is paper  *Descriptions of eight new fishes from Sumatra* in 1797 (with an incredible inventiveness for the title).

**The Melon Butterflyfish name's origin**

In his paper M.Park introduced 8 fishes, one of them was the Melon butterflyfish named with some Latin roots : **Chaetodon** - *chaete* = silk, *odon* = teeth, **trifasciatus** - *tri* = three, *fasciatus* = bands. His common name is base of butterfly for his body shape and colours, and his flying-like behavior around the coral grounds. And *Melon* should be because his color patern looks like a melon I presume ? 

![melon.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT3nMqwUEfxrXFBRBQUt83zEA9Bvt3AiMcLSydih6Eg5s/melon.jpg)

**An uncommon fish ?**

Originally described from Mungo's observations in Sumatra, the C.trifasciatus is found in the whole Indian's ocean, from South Africa to Indonesia, and can overlap in the Western Pacific. Even if he is found in a big area, he only lives above 30m deep, in the shallow waters with a lot of corals. Indeed, because he is a hard coral eater (with his silk like teeth made to cut trough the hard limestone skeletons).

![chaetodon_trifasciatus-behu3131_image1200.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd8QT8pQp5pz1FYkis1qJW4BZQrra9Z36htovCmwVkj6D/chaetodon_trifasciatus-behu3131_image1200.jpg)

His eating habits made him a bad potential aquarium fish, he is considered practically impossible to keep for amateurs, and there is a lot of chances that he will never eat any food substitution. He is rated *Least Concerned* by the IUCN, but the best way to enjoy this beauty of nature is... in the nature ! Keep in mind that the *Melon Butterflyfish* lives with his beloved one for his whole life, a proof of love by animal beings or a proof of the natural selection, you get to decide what makes you dream.

Hope you've enjoyed my first post and the artwork. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Take care,

Arnaudt.

Lovely artwork and very interesting story:) I am looking forward to see the rest of the project and of course welcome to the community:) It is a good idea to start using the #creativecoin tag, the reason is that tagging here works in a different way than insta. People are trying to find good posts and not an algorithm, so in this way you make their life easier,lol. Also your posts will be rewarded with CC tokens along with Steem. Too much info for a start but the sooner the better:)

@arnaudt, congrats on doing so well on your first post!

Your jokes were funny. I enjoyed the drawing and learning about how these fish were named.

A beautiful post. Science and art at the same time. Maybe I like it a lot because that's how my life is; I am a professional in science (marine biologist) and I make art with writing and photography. Kind regards @arnaudt

thank you @marcybetancourt ! I'm working hard to get as good stuff as I can create :) Do you have any ideas of places where I could find the news and cutting edge informations about marine biology ? I'm not a former marine biologist and had a lot of troubles to find recent and interesting informations...

Hi. There are many scientific journals of marine biology. Biology review, nature, marine biology, etc.
You can also search when you focus on a specific ecosystem, for example: corals, sponges, abyssal fish, algae, etc.
Everything will depend on what you want to find.

So THAT'S why it's called a Mellon Butterfly fish. Now I see it. Never knew their name before, thought they were just striped fish. I love how they seem to go from yellow to a shade of indigo-grey. I'm just seeing lots of colours in a lot of things these days. The Universe must be trying to tell me something.

I have a worked on fishes for a long time (my first love is the *Betta splendens*) and now trying to go full time, and I can tell you that there is plenty of fishes with great paterns, colors and lovely behaviors :)
And C.trifasciatus changes is colour to darker values when the night come !

Oh that's so cool. So they can camouflage and not be as visible to predators. Nature is so ingenious.

oh dear @arnaudt, you did a really nice post! How does the passion for fish come about in you? these fish are very interesting, but more than for the similarity to the melon or the butterfly because it seems to me that they have inside them a light bulb that illuminates them :-)) keep on and congratulations on your vote curie

I got sea water instead of blood ;) More seriously they are darker, the light of my references was a bit powerfull, so usually they don't look like they ate some light bulb :D
