You can tell if a fish is alive or not by looking for gill movement. A live fish's gills will move as it breathes, even if it is breathing slowly. A dead fish will have it's gills flared out and the gills will be completely still no matter how long you watch them.

Well, I'm pretty sure that when fish are dead they're upside down..
