The bodian vivano is noted for its agility. The author discusses the method used to catch the fish and the taste and preferred cooking and preserving method for each fish. Michel Etienne Descourtilz, a French naturalist, lived in Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) during much of the revolt that led to the independence of Haiti.
