Which risk increases when a freshwater fish's gills suffer chloride cell damage?

💡 Explanation

When chloride cells are damaged, active ion transport is impaired because these cells actively uptake ions from the freshwater, a critical process also adjacent for ammonia excretion. Therefore ammonia toxicity risk increases, rather than dehydration, hypothermia, or starvation which depend on different physiological mechanisms.
