Fish not spawning, even in new worlds

No fish are spawning in any world, even brand new ones. The only fish in my worlds are ones that were spawned in before snapshot 19w13a. To test this, I created a fresh new world in 19w13b, flew to the nearby ocean, waited a few minutes to give ample time for fish to spawn, then ran the command /tp @e[type=minecraft:cod] <username>, which would teleport any cod loaded in to me. This command was unable to locate any cod. I have repeated this test in multiple locations, and with salmon over rivers, but no entity is ever found. Dolphins, squid, and turtles all appear to still spawn normally.

This is NOT a duplicate of MC-139338. I am seeing most mobs, in 19w13b, including all nether mobs. In the overworld, I've seen and killed an Enderman, there are spiders, zombies, and skeletons. I have not seen any pillagers, but I haven't been near a village yet. I have also not seen any creepers anywhere.

The main thing that seems to be missing is FISH! There simply aren't any, anywhere. Period!

Also, I went into creative, got a spawn egg, and spawned a dozen salmon, then went into my nearby base (less than 20 blocks away), slept the night away, went back to the spot where I spawned the salmon, and there were only four left, with no sign of any of the other eight, anywhere.

I reloaded the world, then checked again for fish...no...not a single one anywhere.

Then I spawned another dozen salmon, left the area, went back, and once again, some had disappeared. This time I only lost four, and found eight. Still...this is just plain weird!

This is in a copy of the world I started in 19w10a. I was playing that world yesterday in 19w13a, and had a DIFFERENT problem, that got me frustrated enough to go back to an earlier point in that world (I always keep backups).

When this world was spawned back in that other snapshot, there were plenty of fish, everywhere...not too many...just a nice amount, and if I killed a small school of them, I could go back again in a couple of days, and there'd be more fish spawned. In that world that had been continued into 19w13a, they were still doing that.

However, when I went back to what the world had been like in about 19w11-ish, there were not even any fish where there HAD been fish the last time I played that copy of the world! They have all completely disappeared, everywhere in the world! 😞

I am still experiencing this issue in 19w14a even after the bug it is supposedly a duplicate of was resolved.
