Each life stage of the totoaba osmoregulate differently. Totoaba eggs are osmoconformers. Their larvae are stenohaline able to osmoregulate in salinity levels of 20 to 34 psu, this life stage is the less tolerant to extreme salinity. [20] Juveniles on the other hand can survive in salinity ranging from 5 to 40 psu. [20]
