Although there is no exact phylum under which fish may be classified it is safe to say that anything that may be ''fished'' is a ''fish''. All fish so far discovered are edible and most contain bones and other useful materials for crafts.

Although there is no exact game definition of '''fish''', for simplicity anything that may be ''[[Fishing|fished]]'' is categorized as "a fish" in this wiki, including [[turtle]]s and [[cave lobster]]s. Technically, the game treats these as [[vermin]], but unlike true vermin they are a welcome [[food]] source, and are not hunted by cats (unless they are in suitably shallow water), but must be caught by [[fisherdwarf]]s with the [[fishing]] [[labor]] enabled.  However, as with all vermin, they appear spontaneously (aka "spawn") in any natural water environment and most artificially constructed ones.
+
Mussels are considered a type of fish, but work slightly differently; they do not produce bones or shells, but raw mussels can be cooked at a kitchen instead of being cleaned at a fishery.
  
−
(The {{k|z}}-status' ''stocks'' screen defines certain (dead) creatures as fish/raw fish. These are subject to [[rotting]]/[[wear]]).
+
== Variety ==
 +
Below is a list of different species of fish.
  
−
Certain larger species are also typically defined as fish even though they are treated as regular [[creature]]s by the game, for instance [[carp]] and [[Longnose gar]], among others. These larger fish may ''not'' be caught by fisherdwarves, but must be killed in combat. They can also be air-drowned by reducing the water they are in to 4/7 or less, like all fish. These aquatic monsters can interrupt dwarves' activities and will gladly attack and kill given half a chance.  In [[evil]] [[Biome|biomes]], they can come in [[skeletal]] and [[zombie]] varieties (which can move on land, among other [[fun]] surprises).

[[Olm]]s are the only water vermin that cannot be fished.

If eaten uncooked fish will leave a bone unless noted otherwise below.{{verify}}

While some vermin fish move across the map in small packs due to the [CLUSTER_NUMBER] creature token, others such as shad have been observed to migrate biannually in 'salmon runs,' filling an entire river with many fish on each tile. This is caused by a combination of the [CLUSTER_NUMBER:1:10] [[creature token]] and the [BIOME:OCEAN_TEMPERATE] and [BIOME:RIVER_TEMPERATE_*] [[biome token]]s.
