notes:
This fish is of the family Echeneidae. It can attach itself to larger fish by means of slats or "suckers" at the top of its head. The fish were sighted near the Abrolhos Archipelago off the coast of Brazil (now a marine national park).Admiral de Gennes had two purposes in this voyage supported by Louis XIV --to create trouble for Spain and to take booty. Six ships sailed ostensibly to establish a colony at the Strait of Magellan. They stopped on the African coast where they raided a fort, taking slaves and goods that were then sold by one of the ships in the Antilles. The other ships continued on to Rio de Janeiro and down the South American coast to the Strait of Magellan, but they had to turn back due to a shortage of food. They returned to La Rochelle in April 1697.
