When you cry, don't you excrete salt water? when you run and sweat, you excrete salt water. When you drink water and later pee, you excrete urea.

Fresh water fish differ physiologically from salt water fish in several respects. Their gills must be able to diffuse dissolved gasses while keeping the salts in the body fluids inside. Their scales reduce water diffusion through the skin: freshwater fish that have lost too many scales will die. They also have well developed kidneys to reclaim salts from body fluids before excretion.

What body waste is expelled through the skin?
The skin produces sweat, but this is not really an excretion. The main function of sweat is to help cool the body. However sweat also contains small amounts of urea, the main waste found in the urine. The concentration of urea in sweat is much less than that in the urine, so this is not a significant route for excretion. Sweat also contains samll amounts of salts (minerals), but again the urine is the main route for the elimination of excess salt.
