Anomalocaris

“The Anomalocaris is a large predator of the Ancient Isle. They flex their fins in a wave-like motion to generate speed, which they use to pursue prey. They bear strong armor-like scales on their backs, making them quite strong. The Anomalocaris went extinct around 485 million years ago at the end of Ordovician period.”— in-game Bestiary description

Anomalocaris guide

Looking for Anomalocaris means heading to the Ancient Isle after dark. It is an Uncommon fish that bites at Night on Minnow, and it is one of the larger fish you can pull from that zone: 16.1 kg to 52 kg, averaging 34 kg.

Its size is its best feature. The maximum weight ranks 319th of 663 fish with a recorded max, which is middling. The price is the weak spot: C$2.26 per kg averages out to only C$76.84, ranking 609th of the 742 documented fish. That puts it in the bottom quarter for value, even with 100 base XP on top.

Because the data lists no other Uncommon fish in the same zone, you are not competing with look-alike catches here. The Ancient Isle sells Krampus's Rod, Phoenix Rod and Stone Rod, so you can buy gear on the spot to improve your odds at night.

Verdict: not a fish to build a trip around. Pick it up if you are already on the Ancient Isle at night with Minnow, take the XP, and sell it. Prioritize rarer species there if cash matters to you.
