Solution

Cold blooded animals are those which cannot regulate their body temperature and they adjust their body temperature according to the ambient temperature. But if the temperature is reduced or increased drastically, various enzymes in the body of fish might be inactivated thus ceasing various vital functions in the body of fish.
