The Discus is an aquatic animal found in Stranded Deep. They can be found dwelling in the shallows.
Description[]
Discus fish are passive swimmers that can be distinguished from other fish by their contrasting colors and disc-like shape. They are mostly found in shallow waters near islands.
The player can kill and skin discus fish with a refined knife.
Strategy[]
There is no strategy required for hunting discus fish, apart from looking out for potential shark encounters nearby, which can be solved by either consuming a shark repellent or killing all sharks in the area. The player can only catch it with a fishing spear, fish trap, and fishing rod, although the spear is most effective and least resource-consuming.
