The smell associated with fish comes from the amines and the human nose is capable of detecting less than one part per million concentration. Trimethylamine is also present in some human sweat and urine causing them BO. Fish muscles are rich in amino acids and these are rapidly converted into biogenic amines by bacteria when the fish dies. Fresh fish does not smell too badly.

Because the water smells?

Fish usually have millions more scent detectors than we do and water is a great carrieer of chemicals. So, the answer to your question is - they smell very well indeed.

They don't smell when you first take them out of the water.

Because nobody gave them any soap or bubble-bath.

They don't smell until they start going off.

Some fish gets constipated and it's their poo that smells.

Maybe it's too dark to see down there? They wouldn't want to bump into rocks and the other fish.
