Which mechanism maintains freshwater fish internal homeostasis subjected to constant osmotic intake?

💡 Explanation

When freshwater fish face continuous osmotic water inflow, they counterbalance this by excreting large volumes of dilute urine and actively transporting ions into their bloodstream at the gills, thus maintaining osmotic balance. Therefore dilute urine excretion and active ion uptake results, rather than the other water regulation processes.
