I'm not a scientist, smart person or even reasonably clever in any way.....But, by the size of that blast wave you would have to image the absolute sheer devastation of all aquatic life within a few hundred yards...also any sea creature that depends on gentle clicks and soft squeaks would have been seriously annihilated or needed 300 ibuprofens....
