Their bodies are adapted to having a certain level of several salts--actually ions--in their environment.
They have the ability to function in environments with a high salt content, maintaining a proper ion balance consumes quite a bit of energy (used to run molecular pumps). Basically, their waste products will have a high salt content.
With freshwater critters, there can be a lack of salt, in which their diet supplies the necessary amount.
