Which osmoregulatory stress arises when migratory salmon enter freshwater?

💡 Explanation

Salmon experience excess fluid uptake because of the osmotic gradient, requiring active ion transport; the mechanism of osmoregulation fails to cope with such a freshwater environment. The organism becomes hypertonic, therefore freshwater influx occurs rather than maintaining osmotic balance.
