Which outcome occurs when a freshwater fish's kidneys fail to properly execute osmoregulation?

💡 Explanation

When freshwater fish kidneys fail osmoregulation, water diffuses in from the lower salt environment causing cells to swell and eventually lyse due to lack of ion regulation. Therefore excessive water absorption occurs, rather other options relying on different mechanisms such as ion deficiencies, oxygen transport issues, or metabolic waste accumulation.
