if the bottom of your subject isn't complete with 8 rounds,
continue increasing by doing 1 sc in the nxt 6 and 2 in nxt, then seven,etc...
Round 9: 1 Hdc *around* - 42 Hdc
Round 10-16:  Hdc R ribbing around - 42 Hdc
Round  17: Hdc R 18, ch 2 skip 4 Hdc and Hdc R 19 to finish round 16.
Round 18: Hdc R *around*,Hdc the ch as well.
Note: Now you have a ch space where later, you could weave in your back fin.
This is now a point where you can add more normal Hdc R's to create the "covering" of the subject.

For the fins and eyes, you can do a bunch of stuff rather than my pattern you could make shell stitches,bobbles, do as you wish and please post a picture and show me:)
With a long tail, weave in desired position and hide tail.
