Re: Wednesday's "why".
The answer to the question is YES, they do get thirsty...see
Q. Do fish get thirsty or do they even drink? Do fish sleep?
A. The blood of marine teleost fish (the "typical" bony fish such as a tuna or a herring) is not as salty as the sea water that they are swimming in. It is about 1.4 % salt, as opposed to the 3.5% salt found in most sea water. If a marine teleost fish did not have any mechanisms for dealing with this situation, water would leave their bodies via osmosis, and they would dehydrate! (Can you imagine a fish dehydrating in the middle of the ocean!) Marine teleost fish solve this problem by drinking the salty water, retaining the water, and excreting the salts. They have special chloride excreting cells called ionocytes in the gills which actively pump salts out of the fishes body. Since the marine teleost fish do need water, they would probably get thirsty if they neglected to drink. It's hard to conceive of a situation where a these fish could not find some water to drink, however!!
