← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when marine cartilaginous fish experience dehydration?
A)Elevated levels of blood urea✓
B)Increased secretion of dilute urine
C)Decreased rectal gland salt excretion
D)Reduced kidney water reabsorption
💡 Explanation
Elevated blood urea occurs because osmoregulation relies on urea retention to maintain isotonicity with seawater; therefore, dehydration concentrates urea, rather than producing dilute urine, because they actively uptake water and control salt excretion.
