Which ionic imbalance results when freshwater fish excrete excessive urine?

💡 Explanation

Hyponatremia results because freshwater fish constantly uptake water through osmosis to counter the hypotonic environment. The osmoregulation in freshwater fish causes sodium loss that cannot keep up through the active uptake of NaCl at gill mitochondria; therefore, low blood sodium occurs, rather than increased sodium via intake.
