The density of a fish is much smaller than the density of water, therefore the fish does not sink, but it should float. The only thing that keeps the fish from floating to the surface are their swim bladders. They are organs inside the fish that contain gas to balance out the density of the fish and make the fish achieve neutral buoyancy and stay in the water.
