Slate Tuna

“"With their Stone Exocranium on the front of their body, the invasive Slate Tuna is able to hunt and kill prey at alarmingly high rates. However, this stone noggin of theirs also ends up in slower swim speeds for this predator, resulting with this fish being lower down on the food chain in this deep chasm."”— in-game Bestiary description

Slate Tuna guide

Slate Tuna is a Common fish from Desolate Deep that wears a Stone Exocranium on the front of its body, according to the wiki, which also calls it an invasive species. It takes Super Flakes, can appear at any time of day, needs Clear or Rainy weather, and only shows up in Spring.

It is a big fish for its rarity. The average weight is 44.9 kg, from 39.8 kg to 94 kg, and the maximum ranks 286 of 663. The price, however, is weak at C$1.17 per kg, so the average sale is only C$52, 655 of 742 documented fish by average value. Base XP is 25.

Horseshoe Crab is the other Common fish in Desolate Deep, and two rods are sold there: Reinforced Rod and Trident Rod. If you are in the zone to buy one of those, you may catch a Slate Tuna along the way.

Verdict: it is not worth targeting. The weight looks impressive next to the earnings, and that mismatch is the whole story: heavy, cheap and slow to pay off. Bring Super Flakes only if you are already fishing Desolate Deep for something else, and sell any Slate Tuna you land without a second thought.
