Question

Rohu is a cold blooded or warm blooded fish?

• A. Cold blooded
• B. Warm blooded
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cold blooded

All fish (including Rohu) are cold-blooded poikilothermous vertebrates, the only rare exception is the Opah fish. Because of being cold-blooded, the body temperature of the fishes changes according to the surrounding temperature. That is why they are known as Ectotherms. So, the fish cannot regulate their body temperature and it is directly linked to the temperature of the water. For example, in scorching sunlight, the fish body becomes warm by absorbing heat from the warm water.

So, the correct answer is 'Cold blooded'
