* A large number Aquarium Creatures have now been added to the fishing system
* Aquarium Creatures are now broken down into three Rarity levels: Common, Uncommon, and Rare

* Players can only harvest Saltwater Aquarium Creatures from Special Fishing Nets, Fishing Spots, and SOSes
* When players harvest an Aquarium Creature, it is initially considered to be "Fresh" but will convert to "Dried Out" status if they are not placed into an Aquarium within 6 hours of being caught (this also applies if players remove an Aquarium Creature from an aquarium)
* Players can single-click or double-click to view how much time remains before an Aquarium Creature dries out
* When this patch goes live, all existing Aquarium Creatures will automatically convert to Dried Out status (explained later)
* Players can now use scissors and daggers on unwanted Aquarium Creatures to convert them into a random assortment of Raw Large Fish, Raw Lobster, or Raw Crab (amount varies based on creature rarity)

If you are the competitive type, there are also Fishing Record Boards that will list all the types of fish that can be caught, what the current weight record is, as well as when and who landed the fish. You can find Fishing Record Boards at each city's dock near the Dockmaster.
