This seems to be Stepwater by L. Warren Douglas. According to goodreads:
In a time when genengineered humans inhabit alien worlds, the bors,
humans with bear genes, and the mantee, a human/otter mix, reach the
brink of war when a man and a woman break the strongest taboo of their
clans--and only the Arbiter has the answer.
From the book:
Tarbeks' sulphurous metabolisms seemed unearthly, but who knew what
genes they owed to bacteria that lived in undersea volcanic vents?
And:
There lay a city, Nort, occupied by wends, mantees, fards, and the
occasional tarbek.

@DannyMcG Well... I kinda disagree. Your question was for a book about genetically engineered animals called bors and tarbeks. You asked the question, and you got an answer. It's all yours in that sense, there would be nothing wrong with you accepting it. First, as Valorum said, "It's unlikely that there will be another". Second, if that other guy somewhere else now says "oh no, I actually remembered it wrong, it was about Orbs and Barteks", what are you gonna do then? Kick this perfectly valid answer here?
