Which risk increases as a freshwater fish's gills abnormally increase permeability causing rapid ion loss?

💡 Explanation

When gill permeability increases, unregulated ion loss causes electrolyte imbalances because diffusion overwhelms the fish's osmoregulatory capacity. Therefore cellular dysfunction results, rather than dehydration, oxygen toxicity, or kidney failure, all stem from independent distinct aquatic metabolic and physiological dysfunctions.
