What reading level is Fishes I Have Known book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Presently there glided up to them three or four fish, of which nothing could be seen except a tall dorsal fin, with a still larger one several feet behind. We had observed a couple of men on the clifif waving their arms like the pilchard look- out men, or " huers, " of Cornwall, and all at once, half a dozen boats, each rowed by eight men, shot out from the little harbour and rushed towards the spot where the mullet were playing. We guessed they were after the sword-fish (for such the crea- tur...es were), and it was most exciting to watch the quick darting of the flashing harpoons, the frantic leaping of the startled fish, and to hear the trium- phant shout when all were transfixed and secured. In one of the steamer's boats I went to interview the fishermen and to look at their catch.
The flesh of Xiphias gladius is compact, white, and of excellent flavour, and as it is in request, the fishery is an important one in the Mediterranean.
SOME HARBOUR FISHES 169 No one could fail to recognise the sword-fish, with its peculiar snout issuing from its upper jaw, though it sometimes is confounded with the saw- fish, the difference of course being that the long beak of the former is a bony blade, while that of the latter a member of the squalidae or shark tribe is serrated on each side.
