    Most marine organisms have internal salt concentration higher than

    freshwater and take on water by osmosis in estuaries

    • Osmoconformers, e. g., molluscs, worms, maintain osmotic balance by

    allowing body fluids to change with salinity of water

    • Osmoregulators, e. g., fish, crabs, keep salt concentration of body fluids

    more or less constant via active transport.
