W) Osmoconformation, body fluid osmolarity is equivalent to osmolarity of saline in which they are swimming
X) Osmoregulation, body fluid osmolarity is kept at an osmolarity different from the osmolarity of saline in which they are swimming
Y) Hyper-osmoregulation, body fluid osmolarity is kept higher than osmolarity of saline in which they are swimming
Z) Hypo-osmoregulation, body fluid osmolarity is kept lower than osmolarity of saline in which they are swimming
✔️Answer:Y) HYPER-OSMOREGULATION, BODY FLUID OSMOLARITY IS KEPT HIGHER THAN OSMOLARITY OF SALINE IN WHICH THEY ARE SWIMMING
