Lanternfish guide
At Tidefall, with Shrimp on the hook and a Clear night above you, Lanternfish is the Common catch that fills your bucket. A small deep-sea fish with bioluminescent organs, it averages 1.75 kg and reaches 6.3 kg.
The payout is as small as the fish. At C$21.667 per kg, an average catch is worth C$37.9, rank 676 of 742 documented fish, which puts it near the bottom of the ranking. Its maximum weight ranks 513 of 663. It gives 40 base XP.
Pelagic Cod shares the same rarity and zone, so the two will compete for your bites. The Fallen Rod is sold in Tidefall, which makes the zone self-sufficient if you need a rod.
There is no strategy to extract here, but there is a use: Lanternfish is a low-stakes way to confirm that you are at the right spot with the right bait. Do not chase it for money. If you want income from Tidefall, aim for the rarer fish of the area and treat this one as a by-catch you sell without thinking about it.
