Fish are warm blooded animals. They do not have much of a problem with a small change in temperature. Cold blooded animals such as snakes need to keep warm and can sometimes be seen laying on rocks to collect heat from the sun. Now fish do slow down in water that has a larger drop in temperature. They can almost become dormant, but still need to move and eat but at a much slower rate. Just like any other animal a fish could suffer from hypothermia. if you are talking about pondfish, they will survive if the water is deep enough if it is a small shallow pond it maybe better if the fish would be taken inside. If you are taking tropical fish in an aquarium it is best to keep the temperature as steady as possible. But if that is not possible they still should survive but not for a long long time. It is always best to double check with a trusted store that sells fish.

What happens to the body temperature of fish when the temperature of water drops?

Most fish are cold blooded and their body temperature matches that of the water in which the are immersed. However i believe the Great White Shark (and some other predatory fish) can maintain a body temperature higher than that of their environment.

What does the word thermocline mean?

A thermocline is a distinct layer in a large body of water where the temperature changes rapidly with depth. It separates warmer surface water from colder deep water and can impact the distribution of aquatic life and water quality in the area.

Is hypothermia a disease?

No. Hypothermia is caused when an organism's temperature drops below the temperature required for normal body functions.


Why do you experience chills after getting out of a pool?

When you get out of a pool, your body temperature drops due to evaporation of water from your skin, causing the blood vessels to constrict. This process is triggered by the body's attempt to maintain its core temperature, resulting in chills as a signal to generate heat and warm up the body.


How does hypothermia kill?

Hypothermia is when your core body temperature drops too low to sustain life. It kills you by causing your organs to shut down as you temperature drops. If not reversed in time, you will die.


Why does body temperature increase when dehydrated?

In hot climate, your body temperature increases easily as there is less water available for perspiration. It is an attempt of the body to conserve the body water, at the expense of body temperature.
