I am looking for a word that can be used for the catch resulting from a hunt.
For example, a fox catches a rabbit and in that case, the rabbit is the prey. However if one talks about prey in general, then how to distinguish the rabbit which was caught?
It would be really helpful if there is a specific word to go with this circumstance. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Right in your first sentence...

"a record catch of 6.9 billion pounds of fish"
"he inspected the catch"
and another for good measure...
quarry noun: an animal pursued by a hunter, hound, predatory mammal, or bird of prey.
"he would not allow his quarry to elude him"

I could ask a hunter, in the context of hunting animals, "what did you harvest this year?"
He may reply, "two deer and a turkey".
Of course, harvest typically refers to anything you gather for sustenance or livelihood. ie. You can say "harvest" for firewood, crops, or animals.
Regarding animals; the adjective form, "harvesting" refers to the entire process of hunting/killing as well as butchering.
"The harvest" refers to the season/time of year during which most crops are harvested.
