You can get some of the words out of it in the correct order.

I don't think we should get too hung up on the background bleedthrough words and image. It doesn't look like FIRST scanned this image in or even modified the pixels in the image. It looks like the picture was scanned in and the scanner was sensitive enough to pickup the next page. I'm guessing this was a book of fishes that were listed in alphabetical order. The next fish appears to be the Lancetfish, just after our Lampris Guttatus. If you look at the picture of the Lancetfish is does seem to match up with the sillouette in the clue.

I'm guessing the take away here is either the word moon or fish. I think we can toss the fish part as Dave's way of having fun with us and safely say focus on the moon. That's just my $.02.
