Answer 10

For your report you can write that the Whale Shark is the largest fish. The largest of all  ANIMALS is the Blue Whale.

But the answer to your question is this.

A creature, by definition is a living organism. So having established that, all ANIMALS current or prehistoric are excluded as there are several ORGANISMS much larger than ANY animal. The great barrier reef and other coral formations are excluded as they are not a SINGLE organisms. The term LARGEST or BIGGEST can include longest and this means that the longest is a strand of the marine plant posidonia oceanica (8km long).
