What kind of fish are available and what is their effect?

Question

In Torchlight 2 you can go fishing in special places, but which kind of fish can you get? I am also particular interested in understanding which fish gives to your pet the most powerful transformation and what damage bonus get from them.

Answer 1

There is a list on the Torchlight wikia here: Fish (T2)

Some of the transformations have info pages, but not all:
