Best Answer

No. Shrimp are ectothermic, which means they rely on external heat to achieve a functional body temperature, because they are unable to produce enough internal heat energy of their own,Their body temperatures are the same or nearly the same as their surroundings. The common term for ectothermic is "cold-booded." Endothermic organisms produce enough extra energy from metabolism within their bodies, that they are able to maintain a constant body temperature, like birds and mammals. The common term used for endothermic is "warm-blooded."
