Which challenge emerges for freshwater fish osmoregulating in dilute environments?

💡 Explanation

Osmoregulation maintains osmotic balance; freshwater fish face constant water influx due to osmosis. The active transport of ions out is limited because the external environment isn't very concentrated, therefore cellular swelling becomes prevalent rather than ionic imbalance.
