I've noticed a few 'Animals' that obviously live in water, but do not have the Aquatic subtype listed. I'm assuming these are obvious oversights, but it's even more relevant with the relatively new Pelagic Hunter archetype, which is limited to aquatic animal companions. Some are listed with Amphibious, but not Aquatic (even though Amphibious essentially includes Aquatic). Examples I've found are the Electric Eel, and the Giant Salamander
I'm guessing most would rule this as just being silly, and allow those creatures to be selected by the Pelagic Hunter, right?

Aquatic Subtype: These creatures always have swim speeds and can move in water without making Swim checks. An aquatic creature can breathe water. It cannot breathe air unless it has the amphibious special quality. Aquatic creatures always treat Swim as a class skill.
The electric eel is a curious fish that breathes air instead of water, yet certainly its most unusual characteristic is its ability to generate powerful jolts of electricity.
So the electric eel isn't a aquatic creature on purpose.
I am unable to find a giant salamander.
