How to unlock the Fisher King achievement in Cities: Skylines - Definitive Guide

The achievement was fixed by Paradox on April 21st 2020.

Per city, you must achieve a couple of milestones for caught fish, to upgrade to a bigger harbor.
Anchovy and salmon fishing harbors require 250,000 units of caught fish to unlock, shellfish and tuna require 2,000,000 units of caught fish, so by 20% of the overall required amount, you gain access to the best fishing harbors.
The tuna fishing harbor is the largest of the five possible harbors and sends out two very large trawlers (depending on the effectiveness of the fishing route, it can also be a third one), but also requires very deep waters. You can use the terraforming tool to deepen the fishing grounds. On the fishing info panel, watch for blue fishing grounds. This one turned out the best for me because it sends out an armada of trucks to transport the fish from the harbors to the factories really fast. Please note that every specific fishing harbor, except for the first general fishing harbor, specializes in distinct fish, so you cannot catch salmon using a tuna fishing harbor.

Now accumulate 10,000,000 units of caught fish and the achievement is yours. Fish must only be caught, but it helps to store it in one or more large warehouses so the harbors can be emptied from time to time.
Fish can be exported and generates quite some revenue.

The amount of caught fish is cumulative and can be spread across multiple cities, if required. You need to unlock every specific harbor on each map.

If you select a harbour/fishing building but don’t place it, it will show you real-time cumulative catch numbers.

There may be a more sensible way of keeping up with progress, but that way worked for me.

It should be noted that farmed fish don’t count to this achievement.

Thanks for the input.
In my first version of the solution, I‘ve also referred to the difference between fishing harbors and fish farms, but since there is a specific achievement for farmed fish, I‘ve removed it from this solution. I‘m specifically referring to caught fish.

I created a guide relating to farming for fish (Aquaculture) which should help to prevent any confusion with players trying to unlock both of these achievements

This along with another achievement have not unlocked when the requirements were met. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to unlock? I'm at 14 million fish caught so far.
Edit: I've gotten the other achievement to unlock by restarting the game but this achievement still won't unlock. I am currently sitting at around 15 million tons of fish caught. I tried having all the different kinds of fishing harbors built but that did nothing.
Final Edit: I got this achievement to unlock after completing the requirements on another save file.

I've als recently unlocked the achievement with the Remastered version and the threshold is 10,000,000 tons of fish, as stated in the achievement description.

However, I would recommend to use different kinds of fishing harbors, very specific to the fishing grounds. You can check the type of fish predominantly in the area by checking the info view with the fish on it (almost on the bottom)

To unlock this easier, you should have warehouses near the harbors so that new trawlers can be dispatched. If a harbor cannot be emptied, ships won't set sails unless providing new storage opportunities.

Also the effectiveness of the fishing route is critical for its success. It's easiest to click on a fishing boat and follow its path back to the harbor. If the harbor is reached before the loading capacity of the boat reaches 100%, the effectiveness is lower and the route should be extented.

The amount of fish and/or algae based plants can be checked in real time in the info view, as well. Make use of this.
I didn't have trouble unlocking the achievements. Also, I'm currently unaware if there are bug reports regarding the achievements.
