Question
Chapter 33.2, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process of osmoregulation in marine and fresh water fishes.
Concept introduction:
Osmoregulation is the active regulation of osmotic pressure of an organism’s body fluids. It indicates the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of the organism by the control of water and dissolved ions.
