What fishes are white water and what fishes are salt water?
Freshwater (whitewater) fishes include halibut, salmon, and red snappers.
Why is maintaining water balance within the body a different process for freshwater fish than for marine fish?
Freshwater fishes drink very little water and take in little water with their food. Marine fishes must conserve water, and therefore their kidneys excrete little water. To maintain their water balance, marine fishes drink large quantities of seawater, retaining most of the water and excreting the salt.

BUT OTHER FISHES have isotonic fluid to maintain the enternal environment of their body.

How does the function of kidneys in saltwater fishes differ from their function in freshwater fishes?
Blood wastes are filtered by the kidneys. Saltwater fish lose water because of osmosis. Their kidneys return water to the body. The reverse happens in freshwater fish: they to gain water osmotically. Their kidneys produce dilute urine for excretion.
