Do fish urinate? Fish have to rid their bodies of excess water by constantly excreting a weak urine. Freshwater fish can urinate 30 percent of their body mass/day.
More details:
In saltwater solutions, salt diffuses from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Conversely, if a membrane blocks the salt from moving (but not the water) the water will diffuse from the low salt areas to the high salt areas. This is osmosis.
All creatures living in water are adapted to their surroundings. This includes adapting to the effects of osmosis. Seawater has a higher salt concentration than the body fluids of fish. Therefore, fish in saltwater constantly lose to the sea. These fish have to drink continually, urinate very little, and push the salt out through their gills.
Freshwater has a lower salt concentration than the body fluids of fish. Fish living in freshwater never drink. Freshwater tends to flow into their bodies. If freshwater fish drank even a little, they would swell up.

Often, our Special Agents answer questions that are so intriguing that they are inclined to do further research. So here is our Agents choice for question of the day:
What temperature is it in space? Empty space itself cannot have a temperature as it is a vacuum (an absence of matter). An object (matter) that absorbs & emits radiation perfectly, at the Earth’s distance from Sun, will reach 7 degrees C.
More details:
If an object is shielded from the Sun but exposed to interplanetary and interstellar radiation, it reaches about 5 Kelvin. If it were far from all stars and galaxies, it would come into equilibrium with the microwave background at about 2.7 Kelvin.
Space is the unlimited expanse in which everything is located. We can say Space or Outer Space is the seemingly empty places (vacuum) between planets and stars. Space is not really empty, but the material in space is so dilute that it is really hard to detect it.
Along with the conservation of matter and energy there is a universal, fundamental truth or principle of the conservation of Space; that Space cannot be created nor destroyed. Matter, energy and Space each have an essential and indispensable role in existence.
Matter and energy are conserved in Space and, in turn, space is in every way conserved as a place where matter and energy exist. Neither being created, destroyed, nor affected in any way by energy, motion and matter, space remains.

Special Agent Damschroder here.
This morning Taylor and I drove thirty minutes to a storage unit to try to solve “The Case of the Missing 9,000 T-shirts” only to discover that they weren’t in that warehouse either. These T-shirts have been missing for over a week and no one seems to know where they have gone. A mystery indeed.
After our wild goose chase, we came to the beach here in Panama City to set up a second KGB booth on the beach. There is one in the MTV village this week and another one outside of the MTV village. The second set up features free flip cup and beer pong for all of the spring breakers. It’s always a hit!
After we set it up the second booth, we found out that we weren’t allowed to be that close to the village so we had to pack it up and move it even further down the beach.
Tonight we went out under cover to stage some fake vomit and falling down videos with the hope that they’ll go viral. I “threw up” oatmeal three times tonight. Here’s to hoping that some one thinks it’s real.
On Sunday the kgb team were originally going to make their way to Tampa. However, MTV Spring Break-Panama-style has been rockin it since we arrived. It was too hard to walk away. All Stanky Legs were required to jive for one more week. Panama or bust, baby!
The kgb hut in the MTV village officially opened yesterday and we had an interesting assortment of Spring Breakers agree to answer three questions for the chance to win not $100, not $200, not even $500 but $542 dollars!!! Why $542 bucks? Text 542 542….you got it now don’t you? Winners are announced every day at 4pm on the MTV stage. And one inebriated college kid can go home a little bit less in debt than when they arrived.
So after a full day of kgb t-shirts flying off the stage out of the hands of agents and into the mosh pit of men and man killers, rockin the beach with bottle openers and the victory laps around town in the kgb squad cars we called what most know as the “day of rest” a true ALL NIGHTER.
The kgb Special Agents are in Panama City for Spring Break. We asked the Breakers what they really want to know about politics, and most talked about Obama.
Special Agent Damschroder here. Today was a day of twists and turns. We began the day in Tuscaloosa, AL, packing up out squad cars to head south to Florida for Spring Break. As we put our keys in the ignitions, we got a call from the local television station saying that they’d like to do a story on us. Off we sped to the University of Alabama to meet with the news team. After a couple victory laps and an interview, we headed out for Panama City Beach, Fl. We’ll be in Panama City Beach for most of the week, so come say hello and get yourself a special KGB T-shirt!
We asked Special Agent Bianca to tell us what the most interesting, intriguing, curious, odd, and funny questions she has been asked while on the tour. Here are her top ten:
1. Will Hannah marry me?
2. Where is the nearest bathroom?
3. Who was Huey Long?
4. Am I gonna get laid tonight?
5. When was the 1st Mardi Gras?
6. What is the meaning of life?
7. Why is my boss so stupid?
8. Who was the young guy in the new Indiana Jones movie?
9. Who is Frank Davis in New Orleans, LA?
10. What does the baby in a king cake mean?
Houstonians, like most Americans, have lots of questions about the state of the U.S. economy. Here are some our kgb Special Agents were asked:
How can the US get out of the recession period?
When is the revolution?
What will be the market bottom?
Will unemployment get getter?
When will Houston’s economy improve?
How did we, as Americans, let this country go to hell in a handbasket?
How much money is coming to Houston from the Stimulus budget?
How low will the S&P 500 go?
What do you think about the auto-bailout?
Why did the economy get so bad?
When will the economy recover?
Why don’t we have free health care in the US?
Why was it justified to bail out the auto companies?
On the road again….deep in the heart of M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. Well, actually–to be honest it was through Texas, Louisanna (Hello again LA!), Mississippi, and then Alabama! The second state in alphabetical order. Booyah! We’ve arrived in ALABAMA!
It was a ten hour drive and our carvan was split up and hot on the trail of competition. Who would be first to arrive in Tuscaloosa Alabama? I’ll allow Agent Taylor aka Agent Swamp Rat to indulge further.
I was more interested with the roadkill we encountered beside the road and with the state troopers that pulled over a total of four people in the state of Mississippi alone!
What’s the average mph OVER the speed limit do most drivers go on the highway? Text it up road warriors. 542 542
