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.

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.

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.

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 article is about an older version of DF.
(For the activity, see fishing)

Although there is no exact game definition of fish, for simplicity anything that may be fished is categorized as "a fish" in this wiki, including turtles and cave lobsters. 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 fisherdwarfs 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.

(The z-status' stocks screen defines certain (dead) creatures as fish/raw fish. These are subject to rotting/wear).

Certain larger species are also typically defined as fish even though they are treated as regular creatures 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 biomes, they can come in skeletal and zombie varieties (which can move on land, among other fun surprises).

Olms 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 tokens.
