Hurin thalion Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Can someone provide me examples of species from the following groups: - euryhaline/stenohaline osmoconformers - euryhaline/stenohaline osmoregulators Examples from those 4 different groups would be much appreciated, as I am struggling to find info on these I understand mussels to be euryhaline osmoconformers, so that's one example but if anyone could provide examples of other euryhaline osmoconformers (as well as the other 3 groups), that would be much appreciated Thanks for taking the time to read this

As for a stenohaline osmoconformer, what about a sea anemone or jellyfish? But since these are terms that I have only learnt the meaning of as a result of your query, (ten minutes ago), do not treat me as an authority!
