Answer: Single loop

Step-by-step explanation:

The circulatory system of the fishes are considered as the single loop circulatory system because they have a single circulatory pattern.

Deoxygenated blood from the body reaches the heart which is then pushed towards the gills. The gaseous exchange takes place between the outer environment and gills and then oxygenated blood is circulated through out the body.
