aquatic wildlife
Animals in water
Aquatic wildlife refers to animals that live in or depend on water environments—oceans, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and streams.
The term encompasses fish, marine mammals, amphibians, crustaceans, and waterfowl.
It appears most often in conservation and environmental contexts: The oil spill devastated aquatic wildlife along the coast.
Distinguished from terrestrial wildlife, though some species bridge both realms.
