BONUS Sharks are osmoconformers that maintain osmolarity with the saltwater but keep ion concentrations similar to osmoregulators. To do this they must use non-ions to osmoregulate, such as urea. As such sharks take on excess ions from the water because their bodies are at a significantly lower ion level than saltwater. How are the excess ions eliminated?
