I don't recall any suggestion that she was feeding on aether in the sea. On the contrary, she was becoming increasingly weakened because she was unwilling to do so, instead burning through the original aether from her creators (along with the boost from the Crystals of Light in 3.4, which was apparently her aether to begin with) until only Venat's soul was left as the final piece to be spent.
