Warm-bloodedness | endothermy, homeothermy, poikilothermy
warm-bloodedness, in animals, the ability to maintain a relatively constant internal temperature (about 37° C [99° F] for mammals, about 40° C [104° F] for birds), regardless of the environmental temperature. The ability to maintain an internal temperature distinguishes these animals from cold-blooded, or poikilothermic, animals, which ...

Fish - New World Encyclopedia
A fish is a poikilothermic (cold-blooded), water dwelling vertebrate with gills throughout life, and limbs—if present—in the form of fins. Poikilothermic refers to the fact that the internal temperatures of fish vary, often matching the ambient temperature of the environment. There are over 27,000 known extant (living) fish species, making them the most diverse group of vertebrates, with ...
