Why is it feminine?

Piscine is feminine because it derives from Latin "piscina," which was already feminine in Latin, likely related to "piscis" (fish) but following the first declension feminine ending -a that became standard in Italian. The -a ending in Italian consistently marks feminine nouns, so the word retained its gender through this phonetic and grammatical continuity from Latin.
