Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, we have derived the analytical expression of the average intensity of optical coherence lattices (OCLs) in oceanic turbulence with anisotropy, and then the beam quality parameters including the Strehl ratio (SR) and the power-in-the-bucket (PIB) are obtained. One can find that the OCLs will eventually evolve into Gaussian shape with the periodicity reciprocity gradually breaking down when propagating through the anisotropic ocean water, and that the trend of evolving into Gaussian can be accelerated for increasing the ratio of temperature and salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum ω, the lattice constant a and the rate of dissipation of mean square temperature χT or decreasing the anisotropic factor ξ and the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid ε. Further, the SR and PIB in the target plane under the effects of oceanic parameters are discussed in detail, and the SR and PIB can be increased for the larger ξ and ε or the smaller χT and ω, namely, the beam quality becomes better. Our results can find potential application in the future optical communication system in an oceanic environment.
