Very nice! However, what is an almost finned fish? Logically that would be a fish that doesn't have any fins (but is perhaps soon growing them)! Your fish has two, so it's clearly a finned fish and not an almost finned fish :) Some might call one of them a "remote fin", but it's a fin nonetheless. In UFG terms, I think this might be a reasonably acceptable way to present your fish concisely:

Kraken Swordfish: (3)r368\c367 f:r8c2, rf:(r3c5 - r9c5 = r7c4) => -3 r7c3

We could also avoid any chains with the franken (or mutant) variety. For example:

Finned Franken Jellyfish: (3)r368b8\c3567 f:r7c4,r8c2 => -3 r7c3

Or my favorite without any fins:

Franken Jellyfish (4x6): (3)r368b8\c3567+r7b7 => -3 r7c3

PS. Just to be clear, I'm not criticizing your solution in any way! I thought it was great, and I'm sure no one had any trouble understanding what you meant with "almost finned swordfish". Strictly speaking, it's also a perfectly logical name since "finned" is a fishing synonym for "almost". Interpreted like that your term simply means "almost almost fish", which is what a doubly-finned fish is. I'm just saying that things have a tendency to get confusing when terms taken from different contexts are mixed freely, and that's why I'd personally stick to "finned" in the fishing context and use "almost" everywhere else.

Nice! If you'd like, you could cut a few corners to make it a bit shorter. For example:

(9)r8c7 = r9c89 - r9c5 = (9*)r9c4&r3c5 - (9=623'4)b1p7926 - r2c6 = r5c6 - (4|*9=3)r5c4 - (3=19)r5c89 => -9 r4c7

or:

(9)r8c7 = r9c89 - r9c5 = (9*)r9c4&r3c5 - (9=623'4)b1p7926 - (4)r2c6 = r5c6 - (*9)r5c46 = (9)r5c89 => -9 r4c7
