Do fish get thirsty?
Answers
Fish live in water all their lives but does that mean that they never get thirsty or do they even drink at all?
To answer that question we need to look at where the fish live.
Fresh water fish
We all need water for our survival; we drink it to maintain certain balances within our bodies, mainly a balance between water and salt.
Fish that live in fresh water don’t drink much water at all, at least not in the way that we do. They don’t take much water in through their mouths, if they did they would risk over diluting their blood and unbalancing the salt-water balance within their bodies. Fresh water fish have a higher concentration of salt in their blood and body tissue than in the water that surrounds them. They take small amounts of water into their bodies through their skin and their gills and then pass excess water out through urine. The process that allows the water to pass into their bodies this way is called osmosis.
