It is Gold fish you need to gather, thay are "hidden" along the coral's just use the quest item and go slowly past the coral's and you should get this done quick =) (coral next to the quest giver where you did the other quest's)

You can also use "Shift + V" to the there Hp bar (easyer to find them)

also dont understand why i have been rated down, as the info is correct.

Good hunting! =)

Description

Stick this device on your head, then swim through the kelp and coral along the canyon's edge. There should be all kinds of little fish in there that find your new antenna irresistible. When we return to Darkbreak Cove, we'll have armfuls of fish for everyone!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Phosphora HuntingAbyssal Depths · Level 30-35

    Oskar's last wish, before he floated up into that great-eel's gullet, was to bring back food for the captain, so that's what we'll do. My brother had a genius plan. He saw those murlocs luring fish out of the reeds with a phosphorescent antenna, and devised a way to make one of his own.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Coldlights OutAbyssal Depths · Level 30-35

    Oh yeah! I was supposed to put together a report! I'd almost forgotten! Looks like mostly harmless wildlife around here... 'cept for those blasted eels... and a few murlocs. Cap'n will be more interested in the murlocs, I think. Go engage a few of 'em in combat and see what kinda moves they got.
