Field record
Under ambient light it reads as little more than a spine and a dark thread of gut suspended in the water, the rest of the body too clear to register. Put the drone's beam directly on one and the whole fish snaps into being at once, fins and all, like it had been waiting for permission to be seen.
Marginal note: “only the spine shows until the light finds the rest”

Catching it
A Twilight-tier catch needs at least a Fine Mesh Net— anything under that rating can never hold it, whatever the throw. Bought at the Quartermaster’s counter for 90 crystals. A held net inks this entry for good and pays its ledger bonus on the spot.
