Salt and water balance in water-breathers.

Description
Water breathing creates osmoregulatory challenges because of diffusion of salts and osmosis of water across gills. These challenges differ between (a) freshwater and (b) saltwater fish and are met by drinking or not drinking water, by active transport of salts across the gills, and by alterations in urine output.
