Right so the Emerged Dolphin is called a Flipper, Fish are of course E-Fish, Sharks are Ravagers and Whales are extremely rare and are called Migaloo. For the birds I'd probably use the stat block of the Iridescent Owl, a toxic owl that mutated due to heavy metals and oil.
The Sea Leech sounds like a pretty interesting thing to meet, very alien looking, very toxic. Also depending on your run maybe you'd want to include some Sea Drakes!
Lemmy does not ping OP on answers to the answers. Saw this only after I opened the question again :/
A technomancer whale would be in the scale that interests me (fish is too small, unless I make them a school). They could meet it on the route there (helicopter first and an inflatable for the last kilometer) to make it interesting. But Baltic see is rather cold and shallow (55m on average) so I think dolphins and whales are a little bit of a stretch.
Sea Leech is interesting indeed, I could make it look like a Shoggoth to make them guess what's going on.
Aren't Sea Drakes supposed to be connected to the Sea Dragon? In general I treat dragons as plot devices so I'm not convinced about introducing Sea Dragon now, when I don't have much background on her. And not much planned in the future.
On the other hand, "remeber to go big" and the Nordic Jormungandr could be coming from something
Sea Drakes were all made by the Sea Dragon, but that doesn't mean they're all loyal to her, maybe one got snatched by the corporation you're targeting when they were young for instance!
