Mercenary Request: Fishing Spree
After completing Liberation of Eria - Chapter 2, you will be able to go to Saki. There, at the Fishermen's Guild, the Guildmaster has a Mercenary Request for you.
Starting the Request
Guildmaster Galac of the Fishermen's Guild wants you to catch and bring back every species of fish on Iris. There are ten in total, not including the rare Shining Fish.
Hint: Read the book on the counter.
The book on the counter has the general locations of each fish.
Solutions and Explanations
Stop scrolling at this point if you would like to complete the quest on your own!
This guide will show some easy to access locations to find each fish. They can be found in other places as well, but these are locations that you are able to access the moment you accept the request.
Salmon

You'll find Salmon in the areas around Canowi.
Trout

This area is right next to Ne'l's House.
Pike

Cod

Take the northern path and break the wall with the Vector Crusher. Inside you'll find Moray Eels.
Cavefish
