fishes, such as the cod in Figure 44,4a, constantly lose water
by osmosis. Such fishes balance the water loss by drinking
large amounts of seawater. They then make use of both their
gills and kidneys to rid themselves ofsalts. In the gills, special-
water animals must be hyperosmotic because animal cells can-
not tolerate salt concentrations as low as those of lake or river
water. Having internal fluids with an osmolarity higher than
thatoftheirsurroundings, freshwater animals face the problem
