What else can I help you with?
Does our body temperature rise when we eat fish?
No.
What is the body temperature of a fish swimming in 60 degrees of water?
The body temperature of a fish swimming around in water that is 60 degrees would be 60 degrees also. This is because fish, unlike mammals, are coldblooded; they do not waste energy keeping their body temperature constant. Their body temperature would match that of the water around them.
If a fish was swimming in water at 23'C then what would be the body temperature of the fish?
23
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.
Are Mudfish warm blooded or cold blooded?
Mudfish are cold-blooded, which means their body temperature fluctuates based on the temperature of their environment. They are ectothermic, relying on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.
Are fish different from mammals in that they are ectotherms?
Yes. Fish are ectothermic, commonly referred to as 'cold blooded', because their body temperature depends on their external environment. Mammals are endothermic, or warm-blooded because they can maintain their body temperature.
Can fish regulate their body temperature?
A fish controls its body temperature through behaviors. Since they are cold-blooded, they will regulate temperatures by moving to different environments.
Is a fish ectothermic?
Yes, fish are ectothermic, which means their body temperature is determined by the temperature of their surrounding environment. They cannot regulate their own body temperature internally like endothermic animals can.
How do fish get warmer or colder?
Fish are cold-blooded so their body heat change with the temperature of the water.
One characteristic of fish is that they are ectotherms?
The environment controls their body temperature.
Are fish endotherms?
No, catfish are not endothermic. Endothermy uses methods such as shivering, sweating, panting, storing and burning fat to keep the body temperature at a constant rate. Catfish, and indeed all fish are actually poikilothermic. This means that there body temperature rises and falls with their environment. When a fish is in cold water their body temperature falls to match it, and when it moves to warm water it rises again. Fish can move deeper in the water too cool down and swim higher when they need more warmth. By doing this, the fish is able to regulate its body temperature.
Fish are ectotherms what best summariezes their characteristic?
The environment controls their body temperature.
