Marine and fresh-water fish |
The fish of Phoenicia, excepting certain shell-fish, are little known, and have seldom attracted the attention of travellers. The Mediterranean, however, where it washes the Phoenician coast, can furnish excellent mullet, while most of the rivers contain freshwater fish of several kinds, as the /Blennius lupulus/, the /Scaphiodon capoëta/, and the /Anguilla microptera/. All of these fish may be eaten, but the quality is inferior. |
