Besides interfering with oxygen transfer on its' gills the salt water will cause the cells of the fish to retain fluid making the pressure within the cells greater than the pressure outside the cells. Ideally the water a fish swims in will keep its' body in homeostasis where the pressure both inside and outside the cells of the body is equal.
