Most fish are hypertonic, which means they cant get thirsty as when they are under water their gills absorb water at a constant pace, making it where they can't get thorsty. But if they're left on land I guess they get thorsty as well as breath in to much oxygen...?

You see ocean water isn't the same as actual water we drink since half of the ocean water is salt, therefore if humans were to drink salt water we would probably be dehydrated. Sooooooo then making it that fish are really thirsty ( I don't what I'm talking about)

"They don't ever get thirsty. Marine fish are what's called hypertonic to the seawater. So essentially, they lose water through their gills to the seawater. ... So really, they're never going to get thirsty because they're going to drink tiny amounts of seawater as and when they need it and keep themselves topped up".
