= Osmoconformer
{wiki=Osmoconformer}
Osmoconformers are organisms that maintain an internal body fluid concentration that is roughly equal to the osmotic concentration of their surrounding environment. This means that they do not actively regulate the osmotic pressure of their body fluids but instead allow their internal osmotic conditions to fluctuate in response to changes in the external environment. Osmoconformers are typically found in aquatic habitats, especially in marine environments.
