| Re: Do fish hibernate?
I think they can be in a pause. A friend have carps in the garden and during winter he doesnt feed them. The fish are swimming but moving slow during the cold temperatures.
Hybernation in mammals comprehend a series of physiological changes that produce the metabolisme goes down. Cold animals "hybernation" is a little different, but it is with a similar objective, a period of latencie while waiting for spring. Similar things happen to frogs, turtles or molluscs during winter. |
