Mero Chino | Giant Hawkfish

“Mero Chino” (Giant Hawkfish) Original Gyotaku printed in La Paz, Baja California Sur. This majestic inhabitant of the rocky reefs in the Sea of Cortez is known for its powerful presence and rugged anatomy. In this print, I focused on capturing the incredible detail of its gills and the imposing structure of its dorsal spines.

This is one of those species that it’s inevitable to add color, the patterns they have make them a unique fish.
