As the water temperature decreases the fish's breathing rate decreases as well.

If you increase the temperature the fish's breathing rate will increase back to it's normal breathing rate.

The temperature change of water affects the solubility of gases in the water (PV=nRT). The colder the temperature, the more gasses can be dissolved in it. Therefore, as the water gets colder the fish may breathe slower to receive the same amount of oxygen.

Different species, different temperature requirements. As water gets warmer the oxygen level reduces and the fishes metabolism gets faster. The fish now requires more oxygen out of water that has less. The equation eventually stops when the fish can pant only so fast and eventually dies/expires through lack of oxygen or exhaustion.

Fish are cold blooded creatures. Meaning that their body temperature will change based on their surrounding temperature. If the waters or environment around a fish is 60 degrees so too will their body temp!

Yes. The warmer the water, the less Oxygen it contains and so the more rapidly the fish need to breathe.

What is the difference between an ectotherm and an endothermic?

Ectotherm- an animal whose body temperature changes with the temperature of its surrounding environment. Endotherm- an animal whose body temperature does not change with its surrounding environment. Ectotherms are animals like snakes and lizards that change their body temp with the ambient temperature. Endotherms are humans and other mammals like birds that keep there body temperature the same no matter what the climate is like. The process of homeostasis regulates our body temperature through negative feedback. For example, when our body temperature decreases due to the cold environment, we shiver to increase the body temperature. When the body temperature increases, we sweat to decrease the body temperature.
