Explanation:
Underneath the frozen upper layer, the water remains in its liquid form and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. As a result, fish and other aquatic animals find it possible to live comfortably in the frozen lakes and ponds. ... This irregular expansion of water is called anomalous expansion.
If a fish is frozen for a short period of time, it may still be alive when it thaws. This is because there wasn't enough time for the ice crystals to damage the fish's tissue and ultimately kill the fish. However, if you put a fish in a freezer, it would almost certainly die fairly quickly.
Hope this helps mate ☺️.
