Which challenge exists for freshwater fish with limited access to salt?

💡 Explanation

Without salt intake, freshwater fish face a hypotonic environment, diffusion of water, and absorption through gill membranes, leading to osmotic water gain because higher concentration of solutes inside than outside. Therefore, excess water gain results, rather than ion accumulation, protein synthesis issues, hemoglobin disruption which involve unrelated processes.
