Introduction The main objective of our lab was to see how temperature affects the breathing patterns of an Ectothermic animal. Ectothermic is the same thing as cold-blooded. It means that the animal, in this case a goldfish (Carassius Aauratus), does not produce its own heat internally so the animals temperature depends on the temperature of its surroundings. So we wanted to test this. We believed that if we drastically changed the temperature sorrounding a gold fish (gold fish bowl), then its breathing would speed up and also increase in breathes per minute.
