probably not, marine fish are designed to osmoregulate at a very specific and unchanging salinity (usually a SG of 1.025) whereas brackish fish by nature are adaptable to anything from fresh water to fully marine but are usually situated around a SG of 1.008. odds are if you put a marine fish in brackish water it would die
