go to the same spot and it will auto-complete.As long as you have the Runescale Koi in your bags or in your bank, the quest can be completed.
Best to have a stock of fish in the bank so you can complete the World Quest immediately the quest

I had the same issue, but if you go into Shal'Aran cave (behind FP), it automatically pops up on your screen to complete.
Coodinates for cave entrance: 34.7, 48.2 (within Suramar map)
Directions W/o coordinates: Open the Suramar Map. Slightly Westward of the Center of the map there is a location called 'Meredil'. Just north of the letter 'R' in the word 'Meredil', bottom of the hill, there are 2 upright broken pillars (see submitted photo) to the right of a waterfall. Just head down into cave and you'll find NPC First Arcanist Thalyssra about 73 yards into the cave, where you turn this in at!
I know this is submitted years later, but even now in patch 9.1 I couldn't remember how I completed this when it was relevant and now that Chromie Time is a thing, this should help future completists!
