The sounds were recorded by Professor Steve Simpson, a marine biologist and bioacstatic expert from Exeter University, using special underwater registration equipment at Aquarium in London.
The team recorded fish, shrimps, and sea horse while feeding, they argued and communicated with each other in the water.
With the help of the world's renowned studio, Abebie Road, Professor Simpson and the aquarium staff have restored the fish orchestra to a Christmas festive song.
