Which outcome occurs when marine cartilaginous fish face environmental hypertonicity?

💡 Explanation

Urea retention maintains internal osmotic pressure slightly above seawater, limiting water loss because it employs passive osmoregulation. Therefore, water retention occurs, rather than, increased ion excretion which addresses hypotonic envrionments.
