Marine water fishes drink more water than fresh water fishes. Do you agree? Justify.

Answer»
  • Yes, marine water fishes drink more water than fresh water fishes. 
  • Because several marine fishes have a lower internal salt concentration than that of the water they swim in. 
  • So they tend to dehydrate as water is lost by osmosis.
  • To compensate, they drink large amount of water and excrete the salts both via their kidneys and through highly specialised cells in the gills.
