fishless

Lacking aquatic life

Fishless describes water or a place containing no fish: The polluted stream had become fishless.

It can also describe a situation or period without catching fish: another fishless afternoon at the lake.

The word appears most often in discussions of aquariums, ecology, or disappointing fishing trips.
