How can fish live in salty water when salty water hurts humans with a skin injury?
The ocean has always been salty and it is thought that life evolved in the oceans. This means that salt water fish have mechanisms for dealing with the salt in their environment. However, land animals have adapted to live away from the sea and have developed a waterproof covering (skin) to protect us from drying out. (They sort of carry a bit of the ocean with them). This means that if you were to dip your injury into SEA WATER (which is salty) you would NOT find this painful. The water must be made MORE SALTY than sea water before it would hurt. Water this salty would also hurt most fish.

Why are there no fish in the sea?
The Dead sea contains extremely salty water which is up to six times the salt content of the ocean. The deepest water is the saltiest, while the surface is less salty because it is fed by the Jordan River. Nothing can live in such salty density; neither animal nor plant. If fish accidentally swim into the Dead Sea, they die immediately because of the high salt content. Also, because salt crystals line the edges of the Dead Sea, nothing can live directly around it either.
