They do. It is well known that the fresh water from the Amazon stays on the ocean surface for kilometers from land.
And in Fiordland in New Zealand, the fresh water forms a distinct layer over the sea water - and in winter this fresh layer can freeze!

What are rivers in the ocean called?
Currents
What are fast moving rivers in the ocean?
Fast moving rivers int he ocean are called currents. Currents are caused by the Earth's rotation. An ocean current is continuous.

Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What has the author B S Jenkins written?
B. S. Jenkins has written: 'Density currents and turbidity currents in waste disposal in the ocean' -- subject(s): Waste disposal in the ocean, Seawater, Turbidity, Density currents, Density
What are deep ocean currents are caused?
water density
How deep currents form and move in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
How does the density of water affect deep currents?
im thinking that the ocean water would be more heavy than the ocean currents
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
Do Density currents flow deep down in the ocean?
Yes.
What is the cause of oceanic currents?
Ocean currents are caused by various factors. They are made from earthquakes, winds, tides and differences in density. The currents of the ocean have an effect on the weather.
How does the density of ocean water drive the movement of deep ocean currents?
By forcing currents to go over or under other currents depending on the density of the current
