hypotonic environment

Answer 1

A saltwater fish is adapted to a hypertonic environment. In hypertonic environments, the concentration of solutes (such as salts) is higher outside the fish than inside, resulting in water loss from the fish's body. Saltwater fish have adaptations to retain water and excrete excess salts to survive in such conditions.
