Answer 1

A saltwater fish is best adapted to a hypertonic environment. In a hypertonic environment, the concentration of solutes in the surrounding water is higher than in the fish's body, which means the fish tends to lose water to its surroundings. Saltwater fish have adaptations to retain water and excrete excess salt to survive in this environment.
