Why can fish survive winters in a pond?

• ice is less dense than liquid water so it will be on the top of a lake or pond allowing fish to swim beneath it

• water is polar so ice will be on the top of a lake or pond allowing fish to swim beneath it

• Adhesion so ice will be on the top of a lake or pond allowing fish to swim beneath it
