Answer:
Marine water fishes drink more water than the Fresh water fishes.
Explanation:
In freshwater fishes, the surrounding water has less salt concentration when compared to inside environment (inside the fish). Water moves into the fish by osmosis passively through the gills, skin and the stomach. Freshwater fish eliminates excess water in dilute urine.
In marine water fishes, the surrounding water has more salt concentration when compared to inside environment (inside the fish). The fishes lose water passively. So, marine water fishes have to drink more water than marine water fishes. The excess salt is eliminated primarily in highly concentrated urine.
Hence, marine water fishes drink more water than freshwater fishes.
