"Three other men of the Forkbeard attended to fishing, two with a net, sweeping it along the side of the serpent, for parsit fish, and the third, near the stem, with a hook and line, baited with vulo liver, for the white-bellied grunt, a large game fish which haunts the plankton banks to feed on parsit fish."

"'Keep watch for the Tharlarion.' Said Kisu. He reached under the water and pulled a fat, glistening leach, some two inches long, from his leg.
'Destroy it,' said Ayari.
Kisu dropped it back into the water. 'I do not want my blood, pinched from it, released in the water,' he said.
Ayari nodded, shuddering. Such blood might attract the bint, a fanged carnivorous marsh eel, or the predatory voracious blue grunt, a small fresh-water variety of the much larger and familiar salt-water grunt of Thassa. The blue grunt is particularly dangerous during the daylight hours preceding its mating periods, when it schools. Its mating periods are synchronized with the phases of Gor's major moon, the full moon reflecting on on the surface of the water somehow triggering the mating instinct. During the daylight hours preceding such a moon, as the restless grunts school, they will tear anything edible to pieces which crosses their path."

"Before each guest there were tiny slices of tospit and larma, small pastries, and in a tiny
