Typically thermoregulation is studied as to tolerance for higher end temps and that gives us our warm cool and coldwater species. I know that for lake trout erie is about as far south as you see them due to the lack of coldwater habit, so I assume that there are southern species that do not come this far north because of thier inability to handle cold temps. I will check around. I know that fish like Tialapa can not survive temps lower than 8 or 9 degrees C.
Better too far back, than too far forward.
