hypertonic environment

Answer 1

A saltwater fish is adapted to a hypertonic environment. In a hypertonic environment, the concentration of solutes (salts) in the surrounding water is higher than that inside the fish's cells, which can lead to water loss from the fish. Saltwater fish have adaptations that help them to retain water and excrete excess salts.
