No reference to a fish cannon at your link. ???

But it may be similar to a "herring charge". When my granddad served
on destroyer escorts in the British Navy, WWI, detecting a German U
boat always resulted in fresh fish for dinner. In his personal log
from the war, he describes how the mess hands would run out on deck
with long handled nets during depth charge runs and scoop up huge
quantities of stunned fish.

Sometimes you hear about rednecks supposedly doing some catfishin'
with dynamite. Probably 99% urban legend, but the results would be
similar to Grandpa's depth charges- if on a smaller scale.
