Question
Chapter 24, Problem 18RQ
Summary Introduction
To compare: The osmotic problem and the osmotic regulation mechanism in marine bony fishes and freshwater fishes.
Introduction: Water, as well as dissolved ions, continuously moves by diffusion and osmosis across the gill membranes present in fishes. These gill membranes are permeable, which helps in the movement of water and dissolved ions.
