The renin-angiotensin system or RAS regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. When blood volume or sodium levels in the body are low, or blood potassium is high, cells in the kidney release the enzyme, renin. Renin's primary function is therefore to eventually cause an increase in blood pressure, leading to restoration of perfusion pressure in the kidneys.

After transferring the position is : the man without the fish, but the fish inside the water in the bucket. Thus to know whether there is any change in weight, it is enough to consider whether there is any change in weight when the fish in air is transferred into the water.
