And that's about it.
Except that just removes any right to use science or logic to validate the story, making it no better than the Little Mermaid for veracities sake.
As an item of faith, no problem go for it. In the course of a locigical debate however... an unprovable dictum such as God did it, loses the argument straight away - oh and it's circular reasoning as well.

No they wouldn't I'm afraid. The Salinisation and silt levels would cause havok in the food chain, no whales would survive a year without Krill, so now you
have to put all the Filter-feeder Whales in the Ark, oh, and fill a container with enough Fresh Krill to last them a year... with that kind of displacement the Ark just became a submarine.
So only the Deep Sea fish are surviving, which are impossible for them to fish for (plus when the silt settles all of them will have the same problems the Higher level fish had. So technically there should be almost no fish in the sea.
If you wish to play the God card here, then feel free. But it automatically forfeits the argument.
Hence the reason Creationists mangle and mutilate what little natural science they know, in an attempt to make it seem plausible without resorting to 'God did it'. And they have systematically failed at all attempts. Them's the breaks.
