Types of Fish[]

Much like Technology, fish are divided into different types by rarity, , from common fish to legendary fish. They are further divided into specific fishes by name.

All fishes come in one of four described sizes: small, medium-sized, large and colossal. Small and medium fishes are more likely to be caught in shallow water, large and colossal fishes in deep water. All individual catches also vary by size, measured in kg.

Some fishes can only be caught in certain biomes and under certain planetary conditions; during a storm, the day, or the night.

What fish have been caught by the player, and the largest sizes (kg), can be tracked through the Catalogue in the Wonders tab, under the Fishing Records category.

List of Fishes[]

The following is a list of all items that can be caught with a Rig or Automated Trap, as well as their rarity, size, biome and conditions under which they can be caught, and their value in units and nanites . This list also includes the assorted flotsam items that can be caught.

The nanite values change per release. Some releases will be lesser/greater than from what you see here.
