Do fish wee???
Jump to: Newest in thread
Just had a seafood chat and informed that 'they' do not eat anything that swims in its own wee!
Surely fish do not wee!
My flawed thesis so far is based on a goldfish in a bowl...if it wee'd it would change the ph of the water and die...
So fish can't wee! |

"dont they just filter the water through the gills ? "
This is how they breathe, not excrete.
The physiological problem fish face is the balance of salts - freshwater fish need to retain them whereas saltwater fish need to exrete them, thus the function/size of the kidney in fish is variable, depending on habitat. |

Which is why you have to regularly change the water.
Or they die.

This is significant thread progress!! But fish surely cannot pee or need to pee as mammals do! |

The problem with this sort if thing is we always try apply human attributes to other animals and if they don't directly match then we assume other animals don't do what we do.  |

"I am still not convinced....
Do you have to drink to pee?
Surely an exchange of fluids via gills or whatever is different to peeing excess water..
I do not believe that fish drink "
Their food contains significant ammounts of water.....ergo....
Freshwater fish must be fairly constantly getting rid of excess water to maintain the correct ionic balance, saltwater fish, the opposite. |

Oxygen is the thing that they filter from the water.
They do exrete over the gills, but I wouldn't call that process "filtering the water". |

For example - some aquiatic molluscs have a mouth/anus, because they have a looped gut. This does not mean eating = shitting. |

You don't have to wee by means of a urethra. Nature is a many-splendid thing. |

Yeah, not just molluscs, when I've been on the Cointreau, some of my posts come across as that whole 'talking out my arse' thing too.

Ok! Right!
But in mammals! We need to drink water/fluids, excess is removed in spurts (excuse the pun!) i.e. popping to loo before bus/taxi at last orders! Fish do not need to do this, si it is a constant filtering process and not weeing...

Fish urinate either through their gills or through a "urinary pore." The latter eliminates urine that has been filtered via the kidneys. Saltwater varieties excrete most urine through the gills, while freshwater fish do so through the urinary pore. Saltwater fish take in a great deal of salt and must excrete it. |

And to this end, their kidney is considerably larger than freshwater fish. |

Loads of animals urinate as an ongoing process - again, not every animal has a bladder. |

Yeah, I know, but seeing as there appears to be confusion as to what "wee-ing" actually entails, I would say that "farting" is even more tenuous. |

Yes fish do pee, just not in the same way humans do.
Just another useless bit of information to add to the thread.
Fish urine is essential for the health and survival of a coral reef. It contains phosphorus and ammonia which promote coral growth. Coral reefs with large fish populations display twice the growth of those with few fish. |

"If fish pee'd their tanks would over flow and spill on the carpet.
They definitely definitely fart though and apparently some have fingers???"

Excellent point! The debate is back on, the ratio of fish peeing and natural evaporation of water in bowl! |

"Fish urinate either through their gills or through a "urinary pore." The latter eliminates urine that has been filtered via the kidneys. Saltwater varieties excrete most urine through the gills, while freshwater fish do so through the urinary pore. Saltwater fish take in a great deal of salt and must excrete it.
Thats not going for a pee! Its filtering via the kidneys! A onstant process....not popping behind a shell or some sea for a pee! Fish do not wee!
They do
I have watched lots of Jacques Couteau and Finding Nemo and not once, not once, has a fish gone for a wee!
Cousteau
Finding nemo they are all holding it in, crossing there fins "
Are they anally retentive? |

"Fish have a bladders but they help them swim "
A substance called isinglass is used in beer production to stop it being cloudy. Isinglass is made from the swim bladder of fish.
So beer contains fish |

Think that their bladders are just depth control and staying upright, so technically not actually concerned with swimming....wtf where the hell did my life go wrong so that on a Saturday night I'm discussing fish and just drinking coffee? |

"What happened to those places where you would go and sit and dangle your feet in the water and fish would nibble away to cleanse your feet!
Pretty poor life for those fish!"
Apparently they were lactose intolerant and didn't like the cheese |
