Cold water fish will store more fatty tissue by size than warm water fish do. They pack on the added fat for lots of reasons like spawning, travelling or for protection from cold water temperatures. Warm water fish tend to move around a lot more and will also probably eat less by their size although warm water fish do get much larger overall.
