Which of the following fishes excrete large volume of diluted urine?

Correct answer: B. Fresh water fishes

  • A. Bony Marine fishes
  • B. Fresh water fishes
  • C. Both depending upon the surrounding water
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Freshwater fishes gain water by osmosis because their body fluids are more concentrated than the surrounding water, so they excrete a large volume of dilute urine. Students may choose marine bony fishes, but they lose water to seawater and therefore produce smaller volumes of more concentrated urine.
