The In the Jungle expansion swaps the Blue Hole for Utara, a freshwater lake beside a remote jungle village, and fills it with roughly 82 new creatures to catch. They sit across four groups in the Marincabloom app on Dave’s phone, which becomes available once you meet Sato in the village. The four groups are Utara Lake – Upper, Utara Lake – Lower, the Lakebed Sea beneath the lake, and a separate set you only reel in with a fishing rod.
Quick answer: Catch standard fish with the harpoon gun or net, put larger hostile fish to sleep and extract them with the drone, and unlock the machete during the main quest to reach gated areas like Surga Falls. A handful of fish only appear after specific quests or after you clean the lower lake.
Utara Lake – Upper (0-35m) fish list
This is the shallow zone you explore first. Most entries are standard fish you can take with the harpoon gun, a net, or by putting them to sleep. The exceptions are the larger predators and the quest-locked catches, which are flagged below.
| Fish | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 Kissing Gourami | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
 Walking Catfish | Lake 0-35m | Hostile; buries in sand, watch for heads poking out |

 Tilapia | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
 Red Discus | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
 Banana Cichlid | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
 Blue-Gray Mbuna | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
 Archerfish | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
 Black Caiman | Top-right corner of the upper lake | Most dangerous animal here; appears a few days after you arrive. Kill or sleep it. Needed for Bonita’s quest |
 Chocolate Gourami | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
 Red-Bellied Piranha | Lake 0-35m | Hostile; travels in schools of 3-4, best taken with the net mode |
 Bluegill | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
| Pearl Gourami | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
 Brown Discus | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |

 Heckel Discus | Lake 0-35m | Standard catch |
| Malaysian Pikehead | Vegetation Cave | Standard catch |
| Pirarucu | Sectioned-off area on the right, behind vines | Large hostile fish; needs the machete to reach. Kill with the Jungle Gun or sleep and extract with the drone |
 Black Piranha | Middle of the upper lake, around 20-25m | Can be taken with the harpoon gun to save ammo |
| Goliath Tigerfish | Middle or right side, around 20-30m | Large hostile fish; kill with the Jungle Gun or sleep and extract |
| Blue Yabby | Crab traps, 0-35m | Place a baited trap by bubbling rocks and return after a couple of minutes |
| Tricolor | Crab traps, 0-35m | Caught in baited crab traps |
| Red Swamp Crayfish | Crab traps, 0-35m | Caught in baited crab traps |
| Sulong | Top-left passage, accessible at dusk | Only appears after starting Uzme’s quest “Operation: Sulong Hunt” |
The machete is the key that opens up parts of this zone. You get it by progressing the main quest just before entering the jungle, and it also unlocks the Surga Falls area used later for fishing.
Utara Lake – Lower (35-75m) fish list
The deeper zone holds bigger, tougher targets. Several large predators need the Jungle Gun or a sleep-and-extract approach with the drone. A few only show up after you complete certain tasks, which the notes call out.
| Fish | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 Giant Freshwater Stingray | Lake 35-75m | Passive until attacked; kill with the Jungle Gun or sleep and extract |
 Electric Eel | Lake 35-75m | Large hostile fish; kill with the Jungle Gun or sleep and extract |
 Nile Perch | Lake 35-75m | Standard catch |
 Horseface Loach | Lake 35-75m | Standard catch |
 Giant Snakehead | Lake 35-75m | Hostile; harpoon repeatedly or put it to sleep |
 Armored Catfish | Lake 35-75m | Attaches to larger fish; dislodge with a net or by capturing its host |
 Largemouth Bass | Lake 35-75m | Standard catch |
 Mud Carp | Lake 35-75m | Standard catch |
 Piraiba Catfish | Lake 35-75m | Standard catch |
 Indonesian Tiger Perch | Lake 35-75m | Standard catch |
 Grass Carp | Lake 35-75m | Standard catch |
 Asian Arowana | Lake 35-75m | Standard catch |
 Platinum Alligator Gar | Lake 35-75m | Large hostile fish; kill with the Jungle Gun or sleep and extract |
| Giant Sturgeon | Lake 35-75m | Large hostile fish; kill with the Jungle Gun or sleep and extract |
 Sockeye Salmon | Lake 35-75m | Appears after you clean the lower lake |
| Fire Eel | Sunang Ruins / Snapping Turtle arena | Hostile; appears once the Giant Snapping Turtle is defeated. Harpoon repeatedly or sleep it |
 Clown Featherback | Springwater Area | Standard catch |
| Murray Spiny Crayfish | Crab traps, 35-75m | Caught in baited crab traps |
| Marron | Crab traps, 35-75m | Caught in baited crab traps |
| Signal Crayfish | Crab traps, 35-75m | Caught in baited crab traps |
| Giant Snapping Turtle | Sunang Ruins | Part of Sato’s quest, which also unlocks him as a staff member |
Note: the order here is deliberate. Beating the Giant Snapping Turtle in Sato’s quest is what brings the Fire Eel into the Sunang Ruins, so plan that fight before you go hunting for the eel.
Lakebed Sea fish list
Below the lake sits a sea full of ancient, prehistoric-looking creatures. This is where the expansion’s main-quest bosses live, with Stethacanthus, Xiphactinus, and Basilosaurus all tied to the story.

Fishing rod catches (Surga Falls and Setah Forest)
The last group is reeled in with a fishing rod rather than caught while diving. These fish split between two spots, with gourami types around Surga Falls and a mix of snakeheads, bass, and catfish at Setah Forest. At any fishing spot, press the button in the bottom-left of the screen to see which fish are available there.
| Fish | Location |
|---|---|
| Moonlight Gourami | Surga Falls |
| Three Spot Gourami | Surga Falls |
| Malayan Leaf Fish | Surga Falls |
| Snakeskin Gourami | Surga Falls |
| Giant Gourami | Setah Forest |
| Emperor Snakehead | Setah Forest |
| Striped Snakehead | Setah Forest |
| Peacock Bass | Setah Forest |
| Tambaqui | Setah Forest |
| Malayan Mahseer | Setah Forest |
| Redtail Catfish | Setah Forest |
| Tapah | Setah Forest |
To confirm a catch counted, open the Marincabloom app and check the matching section, since a filled-in entry marks the species as recorded. If a fish never appears, it is almost always because a gate is still locked. The machete opens the vine-blocked area for Pirarucu and the path to Surga Falls, cleaning the lower lake brings out the Sockeye Salmon, and defeating the Giant Snapping Turtle in Sato’s quest is what makes the Fire Eel show up in the Sunang Ruins.
