What animal has an organ above its eyes that converts seawater to fresh water?

The commonly known example is the penguin. It has a suborbital gland that converts sodium chloride out of the bloodstream where it's excreted as a brine on the bill. Penguins don't actually drink salt water, but they ingest it while swallowing prey.

What is the difference between freshwater lochs and seawater lochs?
You've already answered your own question. The difference is that feshwater lochs contain fresh water while seawater lochs contain seawater.
Where would you find the lowest density in seawater?
Answer 1) At the Surface. Answer 2) I disagree with the above answer. For practical purposes water is not compressible. Therefore the density is the same all over. The difference in density at the surface and at the bottom is so small that it is negligible. However, fresh water is less dense than seawater, since the salts dissolved in the seawater makes it more dense. For that reason, if you consider seawater near the mouth of a river, that water will be less dense than the seawater in general.
Which do you think is denser seawater or fresh water?
Seawater because it contains salt which makes the water more dense than water which does not contain salt.
