| Oysters Probably much the same as Earthen oysters, found in the delta of the Vosk. *Other girls had prepared the repast, which, for the war camp, was sumptuous indeed, containing even oysters from the delta of the Vosk, a portion of the plunder of a tarn caravan of Ar, such delicacies having been intended for the very table of Marlenus, the Ubar of that great city itself. ~Captive of Gor, page 301~ Parsit Fish *A silvery fish having brown stripes, they follow the 'parsit curren' in the polar basin. In Torvaldsland it is smoked and dried, stored in barrels, used in trade to the south. ~Book 12, page 38~ River Shark A shark with a triangular dorsal fin, black, vicious and carnivorous. *Something, with a twist of it's great spine, had suddenly darted from the waters under the pier and entered the current of the Laurius. I saw the flash of a triangular, black, dorsal fin. I screamed. Lana looked out, pointing after it. 'A river shark,' she cried, excitedly. ~Captive of Gor, page 79~ Salt Shark a long bodied shark with several rows of triangular teeth, a sickle tail and sail like dorsal fin. White with a broad blunt head. *'Look!' I cried. This time it was close, surfaceing not ten feet from the raft. We saw the broad, blunt head, eyeless, white. Then it submerged, with a twist of the long spine and tail. The steerman was white. 'It is the Old One,' he said. On the whitish back, near the high dorsal fin, there was a long scar. Part of the dorsal fin itself was rent, and scarred. These were lance marks. 'He has come back,' said one of the men. The waters were still. At the top of the food chain in the pits, a descendant, dark-adapted, of the terrors of the ancient seas, stood the long bodied, nine-gilled salt shark. ~Tribesmen of Gor, page 251~ Shark (Marsh) Eel like long bodied shark, inhabiting the Rence island areas of the marshes. *Beyond them would be the almost eel-like, long-bodied, nine gilled Gorean marsh sharks. ~Raiders of Gor, page 58~ Sorp A shellfish, mostly found in the waters of the Vosk, producing pearls as an Earthen oyster does. *They are probably false stones, 'I said,' amber droplets, the pearls of the Vosk sorp, the polished shell of the Tamber lam, glass colored and cut in Ar for trade with ignorant southern peoples. ~Book 4, page 20~ Whale (Baleen) *Bluish-white spotted whale with a blunt fin, hunted by the Red Hunters. ~Book 12, page 265~ Whale, (hunjer) *Toothed whale hunted by the Red Hunters. ~Book 12, page 36~ Whale, Karl *Four-fluked baleen whale hunted by the Red Hunters. ~Book 12, page 36~ |
