An AquaHarvester functioned as an aquatic building designed for the collection of fish. These fish were then retrieved using utility trawlers. On the moon of Alaris Prime, one such AquaHarvester was constructed, following a suggestion from Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, situated on a river close to a Wookiee base. During the Galactic Empire's campaign to reclaim Reytha from the Alliance to Restore the Republic, multiple AquaHarvesters could be found within the Montrosa Ocean on that planet.
The 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, developed by LucasArts, features AquaHarvesters as constructible structures. In contrast to the majority of structures within the game, AquaHarvesters maintain an identical visual representation across all civilizations, with the exception of player-specific color schemes.
