- Abstract
This article deals with the question of the alleged post-mortem disappearance of the yellow blotch in E. costae (Steindachner, 1878). So far, scientific literature has paid attention on two points: a) in live specimens, the presence of the blotch is a reversible phenomenon; b) on the contrary, in dead specimens, the blotch disappears. This article debates such vulgata arguing that: 1) the presence of the blotch is a reversible phenomenon not only in live specimens, but also in dead ones; 2) the blotch can appear post-portem also in specimens which did not present the blotch when alive in the sea. These two conclusions have been inferred by the diachronic observation of the variation of the yellow blotch in two dead specimens of E. costae. The adopted methodology is based on Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK).
