This picture of fish
represents animals known as ectotherms.
An ectotherm is an organism that primarily gain heat through the environment as
opposed to producing its own body heat. Because ectotherms cannot regulate
their own body temperature, many of their behaviors during the day and night
contribute to maintaining a stable internal temperature. Fish are an example of
ectotherms that depend primarily on the environment for heat.
