science Rui, a freshwater fish, thrives in ponds without drinking much water, while Bangda in the Arabian Sea struggles against saltwater osmosis. These fish manage the water-salt balance through specialized biological processes depending on their habitat. Freshwater species excrete dilute urine to prevent dilution, whereas marine fish drink seawater to replace lost water. Estuaries present a complex challenge, forcing some fish like hilsa to adapt to changing salinity levels. Understanding this osmoregulation is key to appreciating India's diverse aquatic ecosystems.
