Why would a freshwater aquarium be dangerous for saltwater fish?

The density and pressure of saltwater is different from freshwater as is much of the bacterias and parasites. The acidity of the water is also of concern as the lower the PH the higher the acidity of the water. Saltwater being of a higher PH would not handle the lower PH of freshwater very well. Also if moving a freshwater fish to saltwater that fish will lose a great amount of water in it's body causing death and if the saltwater fish is moved to freshwater it will gain great amounts of water causing death.
