Which process enables freshwater fish to maintain proper salt concentration when constantly losing salts to the environment?

💡 Explanation

When freshwater fish face constant salt loss, active transport of ions by chloride cells drives osmoregulation because it uses energy to move salts against concentration gradients. Therefore, absorption of the available ions across gills is how salt concentration maintained rather than dilute urine, minimizing water intake, or cell absorption.
