Which physiological challenge increases for freshwater fish adapted to rapid salinity increases?

💡 Explanation

Sudden salinity increase inhibits active transport because the external concentration exceeds internal osmotic pressure disrupting efficient ion uptake at the gills, a form of osmoregulation. Therefore reduced active salt uptake occurs, rather than increased influx, suppressed excretion, or altered thermoregulation which involve different regulatory processes.
