How Mutations Work in Abyss?

Fish mutations are random modifiers that completely transform both the appearance and value of your catches. When you’re exploring the ocean depths, any fish has a chance to spawn with a mutation, making it visually distinct and significantly more valuable (or in some cases, less valuable).

Key Mechanics:

Random Spawning: Mutations occur randomly – you cannot force specific types
Visual Changes: Each mutation gives fish a unique appearance
Value Multipliers: Mutations multiply the base sell price of fish
Single Mutation: Each fish can only have one mutation maximum
Location Specific: Some mutations only appear in certain regions

How to Identify Mutations

You can spot mutated fish in two ways:

Visual Recognition: Each mutation has distinct visual characteristics
Radar Detection: Use your radar to see mutation names above fish with red outlines

Frequently Asked Questions

Can fish have more than one mutation?

No. Each fish spawns with at most one mutation. You cannot stack multipliers on a single fish.

Does the mutation affect fish weight?

No. Mutations only affect the sell price multiplier. Weight is rolled independently and determines base value.

Which mutation is the most common?

Poop, Rock, Coral, and Moss are the most frequently encountered mutations. Rock and Poop are especially common.

Which mutation is the rarest?

Abyssal, Angelic, and Shadow are the rarest mutations, with Abyssal being the most valuable at 8.5x multiplier.

How can I increase my chances of finding mutations?

Use Drop Luck Potions (+30%) or Crimson Shard (+50%), fish in high-density areas, and server hop for fresh spawns.

Do mutations affect fish stats besides money?

Yes, mutations can affect fish weight and speed stats, but the primary effect is on the money multiplier.

Are event mutations permanent?

No. Event mutations like Cupid and Lonely are only available during specific events (Valentine’s Day 2026: Feb 14-28).

Should I sell every mutated fish I catch?

Not necessarily. Keep high-value mutations for quests and collections. Sell common mutations unless you need them for specific requirements.

Always Use Radar: Essential for spotting mutations, especially Invisible ones
Save Potions for Big Sessions: Don’t waste Drop Luck potions on quick fishing trips
Join the Community: Official Discord for latest updates and tips
Check for Updates: Game updates can change mutation values or add new ones
