Field record
They arrive with the turning tide and nowhere else in my logs — a loose school moving in from open water on some clock I haven't matched to any calendar of mine. By the time the tide turns again they are gone, and the reef keeps whatever secret tells them when to leave.
Marginal note: “comes and goes on a tide I can't read”

DiscoveryNot in the water on any given day — tied to a rotating local calendar, present roughly one day in a handful.
Catching it
A Coastal-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.
