All of the sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizon are listed here so you can get your hands on all of them as you explore the deep blue ocean. Just like fish and insects, sea creatures can be donated to the museum to have a permanent place in the Critterpedia to keep track of all of the known animals you've encountered.

Unlike animals you can catch and harvested from the safety and security of your own island, sea creatures are caught by venturing out into the ocean. The creatures will adapt and change with the seasons, but for now here are all of the sea creature that we currently know about.
