These are fish in Anno 1800. It is a food product that you will need to supply your early game population. To get Fish you will have to place down a Fishery in to your harbour area and connect it to a Trade post or a Warehouse. A single Fishery will be able to produce two tons per minute.
Who needs Fish
Fish are a very early game food stuff that your Farmers and Workers will require. Fish are a basic need of both of these populations.
| Tier | One ton supplies | Extra to residences | Income |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farmers | 40 Residences or 400 Farmers | 3 | +1.25/+1.125/+1 |
| Workers | 20 Residences or 400 Workers | 3 | +2.5/+2.25/+2 |
As e can see from the table above supplying fish to your early Farmers and Workers will give you both a boost in income and also boost your residents.
Trading Fish
In this section we will be looking at Trading Fish in your Anno 1800.
| Trading type | Buying/Selling price | Where from |
|---|---|---|
| Passive Selling | $16 Credits per ton | Traders go to your island |
| Passive Buying | $40 Credits per ton | Traders go to your island |
When we look at this table we can see that when a trader comes to your harbour and purchases Wood from you they will pay you $16 Credits per ton. On the other hand when a trader comes to your harbour and sells you Wood it you will have to pay $40 Credits per ton.
How to set up trading
As we can see from the table above there are two options for trading Fish. These are for passive trading and there are two options for this. Lets take a look at these options now.
Passive trading
Passive trading is where a trader comes to your Trade post and trades with you. To allow passive trading to work you will first have to set it up. The first thing that you will need to do is to select your Trade post on your island and you will be faced with a screen where you can select the item for trading. Once you have selected the item a new menu will open up that will show a screen showing a menu with a slider on it. Move this slider to set the minimum amount of stock to hold on this island. You will also notice that there are four buttons on this screen for the type of trade to do.
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | ![]() |
These are the buttons that you will be faced with on the trade type menu. They are No Trade, Buy and Sell, Sell or Buy. You can select these depending on what you wish to do for trade at this island. Once you have set these up traders will then trade with your island.
Taking on Expeditions
Many items in Anno 1800 will give you benefits when you take them on expeditions. Expeditions are when you send your ships out of your current region and into another region. So for example an expedition could be that you have to go and find the New World. For these expeditions you will have the chance to take items with you on them. Different items will give you different benefits when taking them. When taking Fish on expeditions they will serve as extra rations and also give you 15 bonus points to Morale per 50 tons taken.
How to make it
In this section we will look at what we need to produce Fish. Fish are produced by having a Fishery in your harbour area and you will see that the fishing boats go out from here to catch fish. The Fishery will produce two tons of Fish per minute.
