the one that will happen to the cells of the fish is : The cells might swell and burst

Normally, the fish lives in salty water which has a higher solution compared to the fresh water. If the fish is placed in the fresh water, a huge amount of water will move into the cells of the fish, causing it to burst

hope this helps
