Hi There,
With or without fish makes no difference when the boat is in diving trim. Water is used to replace the weight of fish, otherwise she would never get down! When a torpedo is fired an automatic compensating system allows water equivalent to the weight lost to enter a tank. Likewise when a bow cap is opened she doesn't suddenly get heavy 'cos water is blown into the tube from said tank.
