6 Mar 2007 Thought of the day #4: Do fish get thirsty?

I was walking to work this morning and I saw a duck standing in a muddy puddle, taking a drink in it. I thought to myself "That's not very hygienic. it'd be better if he took a drink from the clear running river". Then a though popped into my head like a bubble:

Do fish get thirsty? In fact does any marine life get thirsty?

The reason why land lubbers become thirsty is to replenish the lost liquid levels in their bodies. Indeed sometimes there's nothing more satisfying that drinking a whole pint of cool water. However fish are constantly surrounded by water. So do they ever get the desire to down a pint? Do they ever get thirsty?

.....

No I suppose they don't.
