What is it about their bodies that makes it so some fish can only live in warm waters and other fish can only live in cold water?

Different animals adapt to the climate of their environment (eg thick fur, different coats for summer/winter, etc). But for the most part, fish look fundamentally the same (scales, fin placement, etc) across cold and warm water species whether salt, brackish or fresh water.

a cold water fish like trout excel in colder temperatures w/ efficient oxygen uptake & streamlined bodies while warm water fish, such as tilapia, are adapted to warmer temperatures with broader bodies & unique metabolic processes, helping them thrive in their environments.
