Indeed they are. When fish are in cooler water they tend to move very sluggish. When returned to warmer water they move right along. Also, fish can only reproduce in the right environment, therefore they are classified as ectotherms or poikilothermic.

Ectotherms rely more on behaviors to cool off than metabolism. Moving out of the sun, finding a breeze to stand in, or moving with the same outside temperature such as fish that swim in certain ocean currents, help keep ectotherms at an optimal temperature.

some are, some are a combination of ectothermic, poikilothermic & Bradymetabolism, depends on the fish. Tropical fish are generally ectothermic, cold water fish such as goldfish tend to be poikilothermic & bradymetabolism... so it depends on the fish...

yes- they are cold-blooded. They control body temp by going to different water depths.
freshwater bass in the hot months of july or august are usually found in the deepest part of a lake where it's much cooler.
