Question

In what type of environment would you most likely find Fish Species 2? Explain your answer.

A) Deep-sea environment due to its adaptations to high pressure
B) Shallow freshwater environment due to its preference for low salinity
C) Arctic environment due to its tolerance for extreme cold temperatures
D) Desert environment due to its ability to survive in arid conditions

Answer 1

Fish Species 2 would most likely be found in a shallow freshwater environment due to its preference for low salinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fish Species 2 would most likely be found in a shallow freshwater environment due to its preference for low salinity. Unlike saltwater fish, which have specialized mechanisms to excrete excess salt and survive in a hypertonic marine environment, freshwater fish have adaptations to cope with a hypotonic environment. They tend to take up water from their environment and pass a lot of dilute urine to maintain electrolyte balance.
