When fresh water protozoan placed in marine water then ,why its contractile vacoule disappear?

When fresh water protozoan is placed in marine water, the contractile vacuole disappear because the function of vacuole is to expel out excess water but in case of marine water, the water should be retained instead of getting expelled. If the contractile vacuole will not disappear the cell will get dehydrated.
