Here is something you can try. First you may want to use the original 
graphic(it looks like you took a graphic and then pasted it onto a 
background texture)

Select your graphic(make sure only the fish itself is selected). Then 
modify the selection (CONTRACT) by 1-3 pixels(or more depening on how much 
white stuff you have). Then FEATHER the selection by the same number of 
pixels you contracted. Then copy and paste to a new image(with the 
background color you want for your transparency).

I will send you an example of how this would look via private e-mail.
