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.
