Aluklar t'Terra eh Zhilikam

Below you will find information on Terran fish and terminology that you might find associated with them, including species kept as pets and aquarium terminology. By the time of the Federation, many species had been pushed to the edge of extinction, due to overfishing and environmental damage. Many other species died out during World War III and the Post Atomic Horror. After many years of recovery, the seas, lakes and rivers again teem with life, and today the number of fish has greatly increased. Vulcans are amazed at the richness of aquatic life on Earth, since their own planet has limited biodiversity.
