The print of the fish shown in this lecture (czcams.com/video/qWmsk0MD5g0/video.html) was a print made by Pieter van der Heyden (c.1530 - 1584) after a drawing made by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1526/30 - 1569). The print has Hieronymus Bosch's (c.1450 - 1516) name embedded in the print even though Bosch had nothing to do with the image. However, Bruegel was an influenced by Bosch.

Mỹ take on this we need global cooperative effort to face the current challenges we are facing. This is more of political debates. My point is this it should be the collective role of scientific and research communities to influence the decision making process as already mentioned on this lecture such a processes are path dependance and you can reverse past decisions. It is quite alarming to see recent trends for nationalism agenda specially in the developed world that is North America and Europe
