I believe you're correct Bonnergy, there is no indication anywhere that the creatures under the water were affected by God's Judgement upon man & beast. Genesis 7, as you quoted, clearly indicates that as those pairs (or, sevens) of animals that were led into the Ark (Genesis 7:8,9,14,15,23) were saved & all other creatures that lived on the land or flew were destroyed. Noah was never instructed to get pairs of sea creatures into the Ark. Why God allowed this, we can't know for sure, except that with a flood of that magnitude, all animals (& mankind) which could not live/breathe underwater, were destined to perish, save those which were saved by God. So, even though it was for mankind's wickedness the Earth was destroyed by water, unfortunately the innocent animals living above ground had to also perish with man.

Does it mean fishes and all other creatures that reside in the water were not destroyed by the flood? because I can't see where it was mentioned. But God destroyed man and every living creature by the flood, both on land and the birds of the air.
