Which process enables marine bony fish to maintain osmotic balance in seawater?

💡 Explanation

In saltwater, bony fish use active transport,specifically chloride cells in the gills, to excrete excess salt accumulated through osmosis because they live in a hypertonic environment. Therefore active transport across gills enables osmotic balance, rather than increased urine, decreased absorption which have opposing and scales is protective
