Do Fish Pee?
ok. slow day at work. Just started thinking about fishes. We all know they poop, but do you think they pee? I'm thinking they use a type of osmosis to expel excess liquids out through their skin, but what do I know?
|
Short answer is yes.
|
They sure do.

but what do they drink?
|
Saltwater species drink sea water to make up for the water they lose to the environment via osmosis.
Freshwater species gain large amounts of water through osmosis. |
OK, I've caught tons of fish, and when gutting them, never have seen a pee bladder. Where does the pee come out? Same place as the poop I guess?
|
osmoregulation (fluids/salts/dissolved gases) primarily exchanged at gills and secondarily through GI system
