Hagfish have a pronephric and mesonephric kidney, and their blood


is isotonic with the surrounding seawater so they don't need any
special osmoregulatory structures. Lampreys use an opisthonephric kidney.

Lamprey mouth
Pronephric: The first, or ancestral, kidney that appears in the anterior part
of the coelomic cavity and is connected to the archinephric duct. In
amniotes and bony fish it appears only in the early stages of the embryo
before it disappears

Mesonephric: Replaces the pronephros during development and is


retained as the functional kidney in adult fish and amphibians. Formed
posterior to the pronephros from renal tubules, which ultimately connect
with the archinephric duct.

gas exchange occurs across the gills that surround five gill openings.

Water enters through the mouth, and gill rakers on the inner surface keep food inside the
pharynx allowing water to flow over the gills.
Fishes When the mouth is filled with food, water can enter through the spiracles,
if they are present.
Many cartilaginous fish have no way to pump water across the respiratory surface
and constantly swim with their mouths open to aerate their gills,
