THE ROCK HIND (Epinephelus adscensionis) 

 This spotted beauty inhabits tropical American waters from Bermuda to Brazil, and is often encountered 

 on the east coast of Florida. It lives in rocky places, and is highly esteemed as a food fish, reaching two 

 feet in length. 



THE SHARK SUCKER (Echeneis naucrates) 

 This curious inhabitant of warm seas attaches itself by means of a suction disk to sharks, turtles, and 

 other large denizens of the deep. On the African coast it is used by natives to capture turtles. The fisher- 

 man attaches a cord to the shark sucker's tail, and allows it to swim among the turtles. When it has attached 

 itself to one, the turtle is quickly hauled in.
