How do they manage to keep their body fluids from freezing?

Solution

The fishes are cold-blooded so their body temperature fluctuates with the surrounding temperature. In the cold region where the temperature is low, the body temperature goes down which creates the risk of freezing the blood which can lead to death. They have antifreeze compounds like glycerol which prevents the blood from freezing.
