Jack-o'-Lantern Jawfish

common

1–3 SP

A glowing grin spreads across its cheeks whenever the bait bucket opens.

Jacklight John Dory Fry

common

1–3 SP

A round orange flank spot glows like a tiny lantern in the dark.

Jollywake Sprat

common

1–2 SP

A tiny sprat with bold tail markings like a parade flag. It leaves a bright little wake behind it, which is useful because there is not much fish to look at otherwise.

Keelcoin Mullet

common

1–3 SP

A silvery mullet with dull coin-flecks along its belly and a dark stripe like a ship keel. It is plain eating, but crews still check every scale for treasure.

Keelhaul Kipper

common

0–2 SP

A narrow kipper with a black belly stripe and ragged fins. It survives by hugging keels, which makes catching one feel mildly unfair.

Keelstripe Mackerel

common

1–3 SP

A slick mackerel with a dark belly stripe sharp enough to resemble a ship's keel. It runs fast in the current and vanishes into wreck shadows when the lights swing wide.

Kelp-Saber Shiner

common

1–3 SP

A bright little shiner that cuts through pirate coves with a kelp-ridged dorsal fin like a tiny saber. Crews joke that it looks dangerous until it lands in the pan.

Kelpbutton Sardine

common

1–3 SP

A bright little sardine with kelp-colored button spots and a clean silver belly. It is humble galley food, but crews like seeing them in the nets because Kelpbuttons usually mean the water nearby is still alive.

Kelpbutton Sprat

common

1–3 SP

A squat little sprat with button-like scale knots along its flank. It hides in torn kelp and panics at the first ping of sonar.

Kelpchart Sardine

common

1–3 SP

A quick silver sardine with green-black maplike lines across its scales. Its schools trace safe shallows through forests of kelp.

Kelpwire Sardine

common

1–3 SP

A small sardine traced with a thin kelp-colored line that looks almost wired into its scales. It travels in tight schools around drifting weeds and loose cables.

common

1–3 SP

A tiny anchovy glittering with warm lamp-colored specks. Crews look for it around old beacons where plankton gathers in the glow.

Lampwake Pollock

common

1–3 SP

This pollock follows the warm glow behind hull lamps and maintenance skiffs. Its pale flank streak makes it easy to spot and easier to cook.

Lantern Loach

common

1–3 SP

A soft orange lure beneath its chin lights the mud where it feeds.

Lantern-Gill Guppy

common

1–2 SP

A tiny guppy whose warm gill-glow flickers under wreck planks like a lantern in a porthole. It looks dramatic for something that fits in a spoon.

Lanternbelly Dab

common

1–3 SP

A palm-sized flatfish with a warm glow pulsing beneath its belly like a galley lamp seen through fogged glass. Crews prize Lanternbelly Dabs because they drift toward edible plankton blooms and still fry up clean after weeks in pressure-chilled storage.

Lanterncrumb Minnow

common

1–3 SP

A tiny minnow with scattered pinpricks of warm light along its flank. In groups, they resemble crumbs dropped from some much larger lantern.

Lanterncrumb Smelt

common

1–2 SP

A tiny smelt with warm pinprick lights scattered along its belly. The glow fades quickly after capture, leaving only a faint buttery shimmer and a smell like rain on a hot deck.

Lanterncrypt Lamprey

uncommon

6–16 SP

Its circular mouth glows orange behind a cage of bone-white teeth.

Lanternhook Smelt

common

1–3 SP

A slim smelt with a warm hook-shaped lure dangling from its chin. The glow is barely enough to see by, but it makes the fish look like it came prepared for night watch.

Lanternjaw Snipefish

uncommon

5–13 SP

Lanternjaw Snipefish carry a narrow glow under the mouth, luring plankton and impatient fingers alike. They are awkward to clean but worth keeping when the voyage needs cheap heat and protein.

Lanternlip Anchovy

common

1–3 SP

Lanternlip Anchovies flash tiny amber mouths while feeding on specks stirred up by the hull. They are common enough to be overlooked, but a fresh catch can brighten a bait tank like a handful of nervous sparks.

Lanternscale Dory

common

1–3 SP

A small dory with warm lantern-shaped scale patches. It glows just enough to betray itself to hungry things.

Lanternscale Herring

common

1–3 SP

A narrow herring with little amber lantern marks burning under each scale. Its schools sketch dotted trails through murky water, which makes it more useful than its size suggests.

Lanternwake Loach

common

1–3 SP

A rope-whiskered loach with small lantern-gold spots running down its sides. It follows warm hull lights, hoping the shadows there have food.

Lifeboat Lanternfish

common

1–3 SP

The Lifeboat Lanternfish carries a small brass glow under its jaw and pale sides striped like old rescue ropes. It gathers around weak lights and seems to point its nose toward safer water, though nobody trusts it completely. Navigators like to catch one before a long drift, just in case luck can be cooked.

Little Valvefish

common

1–3 SP

A round little fish with a brass-colored cheek mark that looks suspiciously mechanical. It is still fish, not salvage, and the galley insists on that distinction.

Lowtide Capelin

common

1–3 SP

A slim capelin that follows sinking tides into deeper lanes. It arrives in numbers and leaves almost no story behind.

Mapcurl Flounder

common

1–3 SP

A flatfish patterned like a soaked treasure chart. Unfortunately, every route on its hide seems to lead directly back to dinner.

Mapspot Perchlet

common

1–3 SP

A palm-sized perchlet mottled with markings that look like islands, routes, and one very smug X. None of the spots match a real chart, but every crew checks anyway.

Marconi Wire Smelt

common

1–3 SP

Coppery lines run along this smelt like drowned wireless wire. It gives off tiny static flashes when startled, which is rude behavior for something so pan-sized.

Marrowmask Moray

common

1–3 SP

A bony white face pattern turns this small moray into the reef's cheapest jump scare.

Mastcoin Smelt

common

1–3 SP

This needle-thin smelt carries a line of coin-bright scales under a shadowy back. It gathers beneath fallen masts like it is waiting to be paid.

Mastshadow Smelt

common

1–3 SP

This small smelt gathers where broken masts cast long shadows on the seabed. Its flavor is mild, but every catch comes with a whiff of old rope.

Meridian Kitefish

uncommon

5–14 SP

The Meridian Kitefish glides along invisible lines like the ocean already drew a chart for it. Its compass markings brighten whenever the sub drifts off a clean bearing.

Midnight Goby

common

1–3 SP

A round goby colored like black water after midnight, dotted with tiny orange sparks. It hides around safe ledges and blinks from the dark like a living channel marker.

Midnight Ice Anchovy

common

1–2 SP

The Midnight Ice Anchovy is barely more than a cold glint with a mouth. It swarms along boundary currents where warm water gives up and the deep turns sharp. Navigators mark its schools on bad nights because wherever it gathers, the sea is usually about to change its mind.

Midnight Vent Coelacanth

rare

26–58 SP

A dark coelacanth from the black-water vents, ancient and deliberate. Its fins move like old machinery remembering a command.

Mirrorbelly Herring

uncommon

4–11 SP

Mirrorbelly Herring reflect whatever swims beneath them, a trick that makes nets look empty until the fish start knocking together. They are small, clean, and excellent for quick galley rations.

Mirrorjaw Ribbonfish

rare

20–52 SP

A long silver ribbonfish with a jaw polished like a broken signal mirror. It twists around searchlights until the beam seems to come from every direction at once.

Mirrorwake Pike

uncommon

5–15 SP

A long pike with polished flanks that scatter sonar returns into false wakes. Security crews study its skin patterning for camouflage tricks, then send what is left to the galley.

Mistflag Cuttlefish

uncommon

5–15 SP

A gray cuttlefish that fans its fins like shredded flags in fog. It inks the water with a smoke screen worthy of a pirate escape.

Monster Mash Mullet

common

common

1–3 SP

Short winglike fins carry this midnight mullet through crescent-shaped schools.

uncommon

7–16 SP

Silver fur-like fin rays rise beneath a full moon.

uncommon

6–15 SP

A heavy wolffish marked with a cold crescent and built around a truly rude jaw. It is not subtle, but neither is the warning it gives before trouble arrives.

Moonhook Opalfish

uncommon

6–16 SP

A round opalescent fish with fins curved like crescent hooks. It shines brightest when the sub lights are about to fail.

Moonhook Skimmer

uncommon

4–12 SP

Moonhook Skimmers drift above wreck fields on crescent fins, turning in slow arcs as if following tides no instrument can detect. Their pearly fin hooks are fragile but valuable, and old crews claim a skimmer crossing the bow means the current is about to change.

Moonlit Corsair Ray

uncommon

6–16 SP

A dark blue ray marked with silver crescents and little gold trim. It glides under pirate wrecks like a moon shadow with wings.

Moonlit Sardine

common

1–3 SP

Moonmask Molly

common

1–3 SP

A pale crescent marking hides its eyes from larger nocturnal hunters.

common

1–2 SP

A pale medaka with a tall little fin that glints like a moonlit mast. It gathers near quiet wrecks when the sea finally stops boasting.

Moonmilk Anchovy

common

1–3 SP

A pale anchovy with a soft shine like moonlight stirred into milk. It arrives in thin silver streaks around the hull lamps and vanishes when larger shadows lean close.

Moonpool Perchlet

common

1–3 SP

A round-eyed perchlet often seen under open moonpools. Its scales reflect deck lights in soft broken rings.

Moonveil Manta

uncommon

5–15 SP

Crescent markings glide across its wings whenever moonlight reaches the deep.

Moonveil Minnow

common

1–3 SP

A thin translucent veil fin catches every trace of moonlight above.

Moonwake Flounder

common

1–3 SP

The Moonwake Flounder leaves a faint pale trail when it bolts over black sand, like a miniature wake under starlight. Navigators watch its panic direction because it usually flees away from pressure shifts. It is not wise, exactly, but it has survived by being scared in the right direction.

Mothwing Mojarra

common

1–3 SP

Powdery moon-marked fins flutter like those of a night moth.

Mudbutton Smelt

common

1–3 SP

A stubby little smelt with round mud-colored spots along its side. It tastes better than it looks, which is the kindest thing most crews can say about it.

Mudglass Guppy

common

1–2 SP

Mudglass Guppies are plain little survivors that slip through silt clouds and filter vents with equal confidence. They are not impressive, but their cloudy fins make them easy to spot in a bucket and useful as everyday rations or bait.

Mudhalo Flounder

common

1–3 SP

A flat flounder marked with muddy rings like old sonar ghosts. It waits under silt until the whole seafloor seems to blink.

Mudstripe Blenny

common

0–2 SP

A stubby blenny painted in muddy bands, usually found sulking inside old pipe mouths. It is not glamorous, but a hungry galley can make something warm out of almost anything.

1–3 SP

Loose bands of pale skin pattern wrap this fast-growing juvenile.

Mummywrap Mackerel

common

1–3 SP

Pale ribbon kelp winds around this patient mackerel without slowing it down.

common

1–3 SP

A hardy killifish painted in muddy stripes. It thrives in water too cloudy for prettier creatures to make bad choices.

common

1–3 SP

A translucent goby often found inside cracked display cases and observation domes. It treats every wreck like a quiet exhibit.

Mutiny Mackerellet

common

1–3 SP

A little mackerel with a rebellious red stripe and a habit of turning against its own school. It is fast, flashy, and usually worth only supper.

Nebulafin Viperfish

uncommon

7–16 SP

A needle-toothed viperfish with fins that shimmer like a storm of stars trapped under glass. Crews prize it for the strange blue oil that beads along the bones when cooked.

Necromancer Needlefish

uncommon

7–16 SP

Green sparks gather around its long jaw when it crosses old wreck sites.

Needlecap Lanternfish

uncommon

5–14 SP

Needlecap Lanternfish carry warm pinlights down both flanks and a sharp crest that helps them cut through tight pressure seams. Crews save the photophores for low-power markers when batteries are sulking.

Needlekelp Stickleback

common

1–3 SP

A prickly stickleback that nests in needlekelp. Nets come back full of tiny spines whenever one gets irritated.

Needlewhisker Smelt

common

1–3 SP

A slim smelt with whisker-thin feelers that twitch at every sonar ping. It threads through cable tangles with annoying grace and cooks down cleanly.

A dark anchovy with broad night-black fins and a bright ember eye. It moves like a thrown shadow, making it a tiny but useful warning sign when predators are circling.

North Atlantic Herring

common

1–3 SP

Plain, cold, and dependable, the North Atlantic Herring runs in quick silver schools through the Titanic theme waters. Its dark back nearly vanishes under midnight swells, while its bright flank flashes like moonlight on ice. It is common enough to feed a crew and dignified enough to make them quiet for a bite.

Oakbarrel Catfish

uncommon

5–14 SP

A broad catfish with barrel-brown patches and ropey whiskers. It lounges under wreck timbers like it owns the tavern.

Obsidian Crown Angler

rare

24–58 SP

Obsidian Crown Anglers carry black mineral plates polished smooth by pressure and time, with a red lure bright enough to make a crew forget good judgment. Finding one usually means the sub has crossed into old, rich, and unfriendly water.

Obsidian Crown Snapper

rare

26–60 SP

A heavy snapper armored with black crown spines and a bite that leaves half-moon marks in steel bait cages. The meat is dense, oily, and worth the extra knuckle distance.

Oilglint Scad

common

1–3 SP

This common scad carries a dark rainbow sheen like oil on rainwater. It is safe enough to eat, though cooks rinse it twice to stop the crew from making jokes.

Opal Rift Oarfish

rare

30–60 SP

A ribboning oarfish with opal fins that seem to tear color out of the dark. Its arrival usually means a deep current has opened nearby.

Opalglass Skate

rare

21–55 SP
