Which consequence results when a saltwater fish's kidney dysfunction impairs chloride cell activity?

💡 Explanation

When chloride cells fail due to kidney dysfunction, active transport of chloride ions is impaired, because this is essential for osmoregulation in seawater. This imbalance leads to loss of water from the fish's tissues via osmosis by dehydration.. Therefore, dehydration occurs, rather than anemia, toxicity or starvation which result from different affected systems..
