Line 10:

In addition, several species of fish are native to the river, such as the ''Salmo piktus,'' the Picketralian river salmon. A small population of axolotls have also been observed in the river, which compete with the local population for resources. However, they are not particularly invasive, as breeding rates are slow.

~~Crustaceans~~ can also be found in the river, specifically, two species of horseshoe crabs. There are two species: the Peloan horseshoe crab, and the River horseshoe crab. They usually breed in early April and lay their eggs in the desert on the eastern side of the Stimpton River, or in small, shallow coves and inlets. These two species have commonly bred together to create a hybrid. Other crabs can be found, such as the Sullivan crab.

Arthropods can also be found in the river, specifically, two species of horseshoe crabs. There are two species: the Peloan horseshoe crab, and the River horseshoe crab. They usually breed in early April, and again in mid December, due to Picketralia's perpetual summer climate, and lay their eggs in the desert on the eastern side of the Stimpton River, or in small, shallow coves and inlets. These two species have commonly bred together to create a hybrid. Other, actual crabs can be found, such as the Sullivan crab.

The river is also home to several native grasses and algae, and used to host salt marshes. However, after a very long rainstorm in the late 600s, the river's salinity, which had already been on the decline, was almost completely diluted to fresh water.
