nice anwers! will somebody explain why marine life when captured and eaten does not taste salty?

Question

ahem....considering that theses creatures lived there and immersed with the concentrated salt of the ocean.....

Answer 1

Excellent question!

Animals that are able to control salt concentrations in their bodies are called osmoregulators. Animals that cannot control internal salt concentrations are called osmoconformer.

An osmoregulator, they controls the amount of salt in its body. The fluids in its body contain salts, but are only about one-third as salty as the ocean around them. It is a constant battle for them to make sure their bodies do not get too salty. To do this, they drink a lot of sea water, keeping the water and getting rid of the salt through special cells in their GILLS.

Answer 2

Well, I read somewhere that our blood has the same saline levels as the ocean. So, maybe because we are so salty ourselves, the marine life doesn't taste salty. For that matter, that's why beef and chicken don't taste salty until we add more salt.

The ocean has some salt, but all things considered, it's not that salty, compared to really concentrated salt.

Answer 3

Very serious idea to learn. The food intake of today's
population has recently adjusted to complete research
nutritional standards. The requirement of restaurants,
food planning, packagers, fresh store markets, and doctors
agree on a list. There are some 25 fish at any one time /one
traditional location that are allowed on the fishing charts. The
fish is nearly all osmoregulaters, though some species like
swordfish, sailfish, orod, salmon are fresh water spawns. In
this case you might not know where the basic sailfish spawns
is related to the cause because ocean spawn sailfish eat them.
This is the third action that the chain of the food intake can be.
Kril feed is higher salt then many fish families will eat. The
coincidence in all this is that fish farming, is attractive by
fishing experts deliberately to take percentages, and types
with the most nutritional valued by people, lo salt. Many of
their practices include hunting natural enemies of farmed fish
and helping to insure returning spawn numbers and healthier
lives for the producing adults.

the animals have mechanisms to control the concentration of chemicals in and out of their body. if they had the same concentration of salt in their bodies as the ocean, the high concentration of salt woudl prevent their body systems from working correctly...a natural state in the universe is for things to be at equilibrium. if it weren't for these mechanisms that the animals have, they would die. just like when humans go in the ocean, the salt doesn't go through our skin to have the salt equal on the inside what it does on the outside. same idea. something that DOESN'T have these kinds of mechanisms are jellyfishes...they need the water to keep their hydrostatic skeleton and they don't have any organ systems that would deteriorate or stop working from an excess of NaCl. :)

Answer 5

These creatures have adapted to push salt out of their bodies. Animal cells tend to work best (particularly nerve cells) at a certain salt concentration, so this concentration has to be maintained. They do this by eliminating excess salt in urine using special transport channels in their cells that can push salt against a concentration gradient using energy. What have you been eating anyway?

Answer 6

I want to know, too. I asked my sister who lived near the ocean this question and all she knew was she had to salt when she cooked them. Does this mean you could clean them and soak them in the ocean and then they would taste salty? evidently saltwater fish do not retain the salt they take in.

Answer 7

i can taste the river water in catfish that live in it...even if it is fried
its gross
as for fish caught in the ocean- i don't live near the ocean so you could hardly consider seafood fresh here. but i did go to Maine once and i ate in a seafood restaurant at a marina..the stench of "marine life" was so overwhelming i could hardly eat!

maybe it is salty and you can't taste it...lol

Answer 8

Because their body filters the salt out it does not go into the system.

Answer 9

properly from twelve months tale it variety of feels that in case you're making a mistake, somewhat of rectifying it you nonetheless stay with it for the phobia of the two exposing twelve months lies/mistake or dropping twelve months buddy, have a good suggestions & coronary heart to overtly confess twelve months guilt this is the mark of a good character.

Answer 10

The salt does not diffuse into their tissues.
