Anglers are pretty useful for getting pearls under water. (You can travel them around in fish baskets or cryo pods) but they also drop angler gel which could be useful
Angler
What ARK players use the Angler for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Need a lot of pearls ? ... Then you really want a lightbulb fishy :)
If you build a base on the rock island in the lake in aberration or the big lake near the surface entrance breed an army of fully mutated anglers, mantas, and eels and set them on wander and aggressive and your lakes will be karkinos and spino free
As of the recently, anglers collect pearls. Ranging from around 40 pearls and up on official servers per bite, melee affecting amount (melee mutation = main goal)
An angler drops angler gel, which is probably one of the longest lasting sources of fire available in the game, but comes at the cost of requiring underwater gear/mounts to effectively get to.
Not hard to tame, how and tranq arrows work great, taming is short, and in my opinion with just a decent speed and weight they are not me of the best water tames! Unlike most water tames these guys are small, more maneuverable fast and the best part.. they come with their own…

Best creauture in the game for silica pearls, but are week so will need a strong bodyguard
Pretty sure they get more pearls the higher their melee is tamed a 130 earlier was getting around 170 pearls per clam was 196 after tame I think 🤔
Lampost illuminates 22ft circle, these will illuminate 50 yard area if base is near water
In spite of their small size, these guys can't be grabbed by Xiphactinus
Fun fact angler fish in real life actually can get bigger then humans so if somehow tamed then you could ride one the same way you do in ark
Use a fish basket in abberation to to take them to different water areas
They are soooo good for getting silica pearls
And the don't even need a saddle!
These things are so underrated they are best Pearl farmers the on island
Level up weight you can take pearls with you!
Best for harvesting silica pearls after patch v257.
Be careful not to rife one with a light pet on. For some reason it rises the torp on angler thus knocking him out while riding.
I'd you can revive in water and you live over water they make the best lighting for a base .
No saddle required
The jelly you get from killing them is used to tame mantas! I suggest using a pickaxe to collect the jelly.
