The warmer the water the faster the metabolism. Beyond a certain point the fish can no longer breathe because the higher metabolic rate demands for Oxygen exceeds the fishes capacity/ability to gain sufficient Oxygen from the depleted warmer water and the fish dies from asphyxiation. As the water gets cooler the opposite occurs and the fishes metabolism slows down. As the temperature approaches freezing the fish comes to a standstill. The fish no longer moves and its breathing is reduced to an absolute minimum. Any colder and the fish will not have the energy (heat) to enable it to breath and it will die.
