The skin of the fish is a semi permeable membrane across which water can diffuse from one side to the other through osmosis. If the fish is in distilled water, there is an osmotic flow of water from outside the fish to the inside because the salinity of the fish body is higher than that of water. Thus dilution of the body fluids of the fish occurs due to more amount of water moving inside and even blown out if the fish is in distilled water for a very long period of time.
