A piscivore pack before the end of support would be great. The game didn't get any new one at all (if we don't count some omnivores). I personally hope that we get one eventually.
The following species would be perfect picks imo:
The first unenlagiine in the game. Amazing creature and very demanded in the community.

A small and feathered ornithomimosaurian that is purely piscivore. Very unique specie

Could be a stand-in for a paleoaccurate Spinosaurus. That and vibrant colourful skins would make it an amazing animal. Alternatively,
Ichthyovenator could be added, since it has a bit more material available.

My 4th pick would be a pterosaur. This one is unique and very popular. Could be maybe both piscivore and carnivore, requiring both fish and live prey. Alternatively
Hatzegopteryx, which would also require both ideally.

I think Austroraptor and Pelecanimimus could make nice additions to the game. Some other species that could work include:
Liaoningosaurus, An unusual genus of basal ankylosaurid dinosaur from the Liaoning Province, China that lived during the early Cretaceous period in what is now the Yixian and Jiufotang Formation. It is the oldest ankylosaurid to have had a tail club. It has been speculated by some experts that it may have hunted or scavenged, based on the preserved gut contents showing that it may have eaten fish and may have been semi-aquatic, but this has been heavily debated. I do think if they add it to the game the developers should make it so this species requires a lot of water in its enclosure and maybe require it to have a fish feeder in its enclosure.
Rhamphorhynchus, A genus of long-tailed pterosaurs in the Jurassic period. Many of fossils have preserved not only the bones but also impressions of soft tissues. The structure of their teeth as well as fossils showing stomach content have indicated that they ate fish and cephalopods. Rhamphorhynchus had wingspan between 1.81 and 3 meters (5.9-9.8 ft.). Its name is derived from Ancient Greek words rhamphos meaning "beak" and rhynchus meaning "snout".
Nyctosaurus, A genus of nyctosaurid pterosaur from the late Cretaceous period of what is now the Niobrara Formation of the mid-western United States, which, during the time Nyctosaurus was alive, was covered in an extensive shallow sea. Some remains belonging to a possible Nyctosaurus species have been found in Brazil. At least one species possessed an extraordinarily large antler-like cranial crest. Its name means night lizard or bat lizard.
Aphaneramma, An extinct genus of marine temnospondyl amphibian. It lived during the early Triassic period approximately 240 million years ago. Fossils have been found in the Mianwali Formation of Pakistan, Madagascar, the Zhitkov Formation of Russia, and the Kongressfjellet Formation of Svalbard (Norway). It is believed to have primarily hunted fish.
Dinocephalosaurus, a genus of long necked, aquatic protorosaur that inhabited the Triassic seas of China. It is thought to be a marine species based on poorly-ossified and paddle-like limbs which would have prevented it from going ashore. One specimen was found to have a perleidid fish in it's abdominal region, indicating that it ate fish. Another specimen discovered at the Luoping locality preserves a embryo within its abdomen, indicating that Dinocephalosaurus gave birth to live young like many other marine reptiles. Dinocephalosaurus is the only known member of the Archosauromorpha to give live birth, with the possible exception of the metriorhynchids, a group of marine crocodylomorphs. It was a large member of the Protorosauria, attaining a maximum body length of at least 3.5 m (11 ft). Its name is derived from the Latin words din- ("terrible"), cephalo- ("head"), and saur ("lizard") to create the genus name Dinocephalosaurus, which refers to the "ghastful skull" of the holotype.
Dearc, A genus of large-bodied rhamphorhynchine pterosaur from the Lealt Shale Formation of Scotland that lived during the middle Jurassic period. The holotype, a juvenile or subadult that was still actively growing, has an estimated wingspan of 2.5 to 3 meters, making it the largest flying animal of its time. The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic language and has a double meaning. It can be simultaneously translated as "winged reptile" and "reptile from Skye", as dearc means "reptile" and sgiathanach (from sgiathan "small wing") means "winged", an element that also appears in the Gaelic name of the Isle of Skye (An t-Eilean Sgiathanach), often interpreted as meaning "The Winged Island".
Raeticodactylus, A genus of non-pterodactyloid pterosaur from the late Triassic lower Kössen Formation (about 213-209 million years ago) of the central Austroalpine of Grisons, Switzerland. It is being debated whether it was piscivore or an omnivore, because its relative, Caviramus, appears to have been omnivorous. It had a wingspan of 53 inches (4.4 feet).
Grippia: A species of early ichthyopterygian found along the coasts of Greenland, China, Japan, Norway, and Sulfur Mountain Formation in Canada from the early Triassic period. The first specimen was discovered in 1929, which was the most complete specimen found for that species, but it was destroyed during a bombing raid in World War II. It grew to be around 1–1.5 meters (3.3–4.9 ft.) long. Its diet has been debated with early research suggesting that it ate fish and mollusks, while more recent research has suggested it was omnivorous. (Located in the middle of the picture)
Utatsusaurus: It is the earliest-known ichthyopterygian which lived in the Early Triassic period found in Utatsu-cho, which is part of Minamisanriku-cho, in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan and British Columbia, Canada. It grew to be 2.5–3 meters (8.2–9.8 ft.) long and weighing 57.8 kilograms (127 lb.). It is believed to have primarily fed on fish. (Located on bottom right side of the picture)
Excalibosaurus, A genus of ichthyosaur that lived during the Early Jurassic period in what is now England. It is characterized by the extreme elongation of the rostrum, with the lower jaw about three-fourths of the length of the upper jaw, giving the animal a swordfish-like look. The holotype specimen has a skull length of 78.5 cm (2 ft 6.9 in), while the largest specimen has a skull length of 1.54 m (5 ft 1 in). The larger specimen has a total length of 6.528 metres (21.42 ft). Its name means Excalibur's lizard.
Cymbospondylus, A basal early ichthyosaur that lived between the early and middle Triassic period. It could grow between 4 and 17 meters (13-56 feet) long. Cymbospondylus is one of the largest animals known from that time. It appeared in Sea Monsters: A Walking with Dinosaurs Trilogy. Its teeth structure suggest that fed on fish, cephalopods, and possibly other marine reptiles for larger species. If gets added I would recommend the developers have it require fish feeder in its enclosure, but also give the ability to use the shark feeder as well.
Masiakasaurus, A genus of small predatory noasaurid theropod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar. It was a small theropod, reaching 1.8–2.1 m (5.9–6.9 ft) long and weighing 20 kg (44 lb). Based on its unique teeth structure, it believed to have fed on small vertebrates, fish, invertebrates, and possibly even fruits. In Malagasy, masiaka means "vicious"; thus, the genus name means "vicious lizard". The type species, Masiakasaurus knopfleri, was named after the musician Mark Knopfler, whose music inspired the expedition crew. If gets added I would recommend that the developers require it to have fruit vegetation in its enclosure, along with a meat or fish feeder.
Natovenator, a genus of halszkaraptorine dromaeosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Barun Goyot Formation of Mongolia. It is regarded as being an efficient swimming dromaeosaurid with a semiaquatic lifestyle. The multiple convergences with other aquatic vertebrates include an elongated snout with numerous teeth, delayed replacement pattern of premaxillary teeth, a complex neurovascular system on the snout tip, elongated neck and vertebral zygapophyses, and a retracted, long naris (nostril opening). The generic name, "Natovenator", is derived from the Latin words "nato", meaning "to swim", and "venator", meaning "hunter", in reference to its piscivorous diet and possible swimming behaviour. The specific name, "polydontus", is derived from the Greek words "polys", meaning "many", and "odous", meaning "tooth".
Halszkaraptor, a genus of waterfowl-like dromaeosaurid dinosaurs from Mongolia that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. The holotype specimens remains were compared to bones from extant crocodilians and aquatic birds, and found evidence of a semiaquatic lifestyle; although this is being debated. It is believed to have specialized in hunting aquatic prey. The generic name combines a reference to the late Polish paleontologist Halszka Osmólska, who was involved in many expeditions to Mongolia and named the closely related Hulsanpes, with Latin raptor, "robber". The specific name honours Escuillié for having made the specimen available to science.
Conchoraptor, a genus of oviraptorid dinosaurs from the Barun Goyot and Nemegt formations of Mongolia that lived during the Late Cretaceous epoch, about 70 million years ago. Conchoraptor was a small dinosaur, only 1–2 meters (3.3-6.6 feet) in length. Unlike many other oviraptorids, Conchoraptor lacked a head crest. It is believed to have been both a herbivore and a molluscivore. The generic name is derived from Greek konkhè, "mussel", and Latin raptor, "plunderer". This name reflects a hypothesis that oviraptorids, rather than preying primarily upon eggs as had been traditionally thought, may have been specialized to feed on mollusks. The specific name means "gracile" in Latin.
Eustreptospondylus, A genus of megalosaurid theropod dinosaur, from the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic period (some time between 163 and 154 million years ago) in southern England, at a time when Europe was a series of scattered islands. It is believed to have fed on smaller dinosaurs and pterosaurs, or scavenged the carcasses of fish, marine reptiles, and other dinosaurs. It is believed to have been capable of swimming from island to island similar to what Komodo Dragons today. If it gets added I think the developers should have require a lot of water in its enclosure with either a fish feeder or a meat feeder.
