Which process dominates when freshwater fish move upstream?

A)Osmotic water gain to maintain hydration
B)Minimizing oxygen consumption during exertion
C)Increased scale production for protection
D)Enhanced sodium ion retrieval from urine

💡 Explanation

Osmotic water gain will dominate because freshwater fish live in a hypotonic environment, exhibiting passive water influx into the body via osmosis rather than constantly drinking like marine fish. Therefore, they combat overhydration rather than dehydration.
