hm..
its all about metabolic rate..
when the temperature decreases, the metabolic rate of the fish will become decreases too.. and making its respiration rate will become decreases!

Fish Respiration Rate

The thing is I might be viewing this question in a different point of view. Actually, i think that the respiration rate of fish should increase as the temperature decreases. That is because as the temperature decreases, the solubility of oxygen, as well as every other gas, decreases as well. This means that the fish would have to breathe more heavily or more frequently because they can't get enough oxygen into their bodies in one respiration cycle.

Cold blooded animals regualte their bodily functions based on the temperature around them. Lower respiration rates means theyare conserving energy. Since little energy is given by their environment they need to find an equilibrium to make up for it.

Two reasons. First, the general metabolic rate drops, which slows the resporatory rate and the need for oxygen. Second, cold water can dissolve more oxygen and carbon dioxide than warm water can, so respiration is more efficient.

no longer in basic terms for fish it happen for each organism. by way of fact the replace of molecules and the ambience are appropriate. The circulate would be at rather low velocity at chilly temperature between the clarification for hibernation

They are cold blooded.
