What I see is clean water and harmless nontoxic buoys.
I'm guessing that some tenuous connection is trying to be drawn between
containers that people actually drink out of and dead fish.
What killed the fish ???
I think that should be an essential and credible element of your composition.
[usually it's shock, poison - natural or otherwise, oxygen depletion, bigger
fish, or old age]

I think you're trying to convey a sense of localized pollution, and an element
of putrefication.

The clear pupil on the fish is incongruous with it being dead.  Make it milky.
Can you open up a rough red isosurface hole in the top side of a fish?  (I like
your fish)

Really dirty water with that kind of turbulence usually has that yellow-brown
foam clinging to things.  There's also some of that thin-film refractive
iridescence from the foam and/or oils.
I'd go for a smooth clear bottle and give it that muddied algae look.  IMHO the
contrast between the clear glass and the muddy algal sludge on it makes it look
- dirtier.

The plastic bottle is really interesting looking - is that some sort of very
large mesh?
Add some sort of scuffing/scratching texture to it to take off the gloss.

Keep hammering at it - I know how long it can take.  ;)
