And as for other fish common to the Atlantic and Mediterranean, I was unable to observe miralets, triggerfish, puffers, seahorses, jewelfish, trumpetfish, blennies, gray mullet, wrasse, smelt, flying fish, anchovies, sea bream, porgies, garfish, or any of the chief representatives of the order Pleuronecta, such as sole, flounder, plaice, dab, and brill, simply because of the dizzying speed with which the Nautilus hustled through these opulent waters.
Y si no pude observar ni rayas de espejos, ni balistes, ni tetrodones, ni hipocampos, ni centriscos, ni blenios, ni labros, ni eperlanos, ni exocetos, ni pageles, ni bogas, ni orflos, ni los principales representantes del orden de los pleuronectos, los lenguados, los gallos, las platijas, comunes al Atlántico y al Mediterráneo, fue debido a la vertiginosa velocidad a que navegaba el Nautilus por esas aguas opulentas.
