I am unfamiliar with the particular experement but there are a number of different possible reasons in my eyes.

The fridge might have any of a number of purposes. To maintain a steady temperature for the fish and to keep the water from floating away. Other equipment might be attatched. The fish might go up there so we can see how it reacts in zero-g or how its offspring would develop. Mabe nasa wants to see if aquaculture is feasable in space.

Heck, america spent millions developing a pen that would work in zero-g. Russian cosmonauts just used pencils. Why not a fish?

Lab-grown fish chunks could feed space travelers

(CNN) -- Cooking up ways to feed explorers on long trips in
space, scientists have coaxed chunks of fish meat to grow in the
laboratory.

The technique could lead to the production of copious amounts of
protein for consumption without the messy and involved business
of killing fish or livestock.

"This could save you having to slaughter animals for food," said
Morris Benjaminson, a bioengineer and the leader of the NASA-
funded project.
