Venusian Night Fish

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Venusian Night Fish was a species of fish native to the oceans of Venus. They were eaten by Venusians and non-Venusians alike.

The Night Fish were used by Venusians to power their seafaring vessels. This was done by harnessing the fish to the ship and then adding certain hormones to their water which made them think their mating-waters were close, sending the fish into a frenzy of swimming and adding speed to the ship.
