The most appropriate is that; Turtles have a double circulatory system whereas fish have a single circuit system.

Amphibians such as turtle have three chambered heart that has two atria and one ventricle rather than two chambered heart of a fish. The two atria receive blood from the two different circuits (lungs and the systems), and therefore they are described as having double circulation while the fish have single circulation.
