✴⚫☞✔Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution) to keep the fluids from becoming to
⛤⛤⛤⛤⛤⛤⛤⛤⛤Or✴⚫⛤⛤⛤⛤☛✔Osmoregulation, in biology, maintenance by an organism of an internal balance between water and dissolved materials regardless of environmental conditions. In many marine organisms osmosis (the passage of solvent through a semipermeable membrane) occurs without any need for regulatory mechanisms because the cells have the same osmotic pressure as the sea. Other organisms, however, must actively take on, conserve, or excrete water or salts in order to maintain their internal water-mineral content.

Osmoregulation:

Osmoregulation is the process by which marine or aquatic animals maintain the balance of salts and water and stay at a desired level of body fluid-solute concentration.  

This concentration is very important for the survival of the organism. Too much concentration and the cells of the animal would burst by over-swelling by water and shrink if the concentration is too less than the surrounding.  The homeostasis of the organism is maintained through this process.
