Well there is no difference to fish in the artic and fish not in the artic.

Its still the same cycle.

Bigger fish eat medium fish

medium fish eat small fish

small fish eat shrimp(and small cretures like that)

shrimp eat plankton

The only difference is that fish in the artic have special blood which make them not freeze to death in the water.

Arctic cod, Pink fish, Greenlings, Sculpins, Snailfish, Poachers, Alligatorishes, Pricklebacks, Gunnels, Eelpouts, Flatfish, Salmonids, Wolffishes, Sand Lances, Lumpsuckers, Skates, Rays, Lampreys, Sharks.

Arctic marine waters are home to about 240 species of marine and diadromous (mostly anadromous) fishes. The number of species may differ among authors due to shifting of the arctic faunal barrier over time, differences in taxonomic opinion, and discovery of new species. Here our boundaries are the Arctic Ocean and its seas as well as the North Pacific south to about Cape Navarin and the Yukon Delta (Bering Sea) and the North Atlantic to Nova Scotia and the northern Barents Sea.

Why don't penguins live in the Arctic?

There are two main reasons why there are no penguins in the Arctic. Firstly, the Arctic is mainly ocean covered with sea ice. While penguins do not live on the continental landmass of Antarctica itself, they do live along the coastline and the ice shelves. This is where many species of penguin breed, and the Arctic lacks this type of landscape. In addition, more than half of the penguin species do not live in the Antarctic, instead occupying more temperate regions such as New Zealand and southern Australia, where they breed behind the coastal dunes. This leads to the next reason why there are no penguins in the Arctic. The Arctic has more predators than the Antarctic. No land mammals live at the Antarctic, but numerous carnivorous species live within the Arctic Circle. Polar bears would soon make short work of penguin colonies, while Arctic foxes would decimate the chicks. As it is, where species such as the Little Penguin breed on southern Australian shores, the nests are certainly at risk of being raided by predatorial, introduced species such as dogs, foxes and feral cats. Prior to European settlement, these carnivores did not exist in Australia and New Zealand, and penguin colonies thrived.
