How do marine organisms adapt to survive in environments where saltwater and freshwater mix?
Marine organisms adapt to survive in environments where saltwater and freshwater mix by regulating their internal salt levels, adjusting their behavior, and evolving specialized physiological adaptations. These adaptations help them maintain the right balance of salt and water in their bodies, allowing them to thrive in changing salinity conditions.

How do organisms adapt to survive in environments with a mix of salt and freshwater?
Organisms adapt to survive in environments with a mix of salt and freshwater by developing specialized physiological mechanisms, such as osmoregulation, to maintain the balance of salt and water in their bodies. This allows them to thrive in varying salinity levels and avoid dehydration or overhydration.
What are organisms that must have oxygen to survive?
Obligate aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to survive, as they use it for their cellular respiration process. These organisms cannot grow or survive in environments with low oxygen levels. Examples include humans, most animals, and many bacteria.
What term means able to live without oxygen?
The term is anaerobic. Anaerobic organisms can survive and thrive in environments with little to no oxygen.
Does every organism need oxygen?
No, not every organism needs oxygen to survive. Some organisms, like anaerobic bacteria, can survive in environments with no oxygen or low oxygen levels. These organisms can use other substances, like nitrogen or sulfur, as alternative electron acceptors in their metabolic processes.
What cannot survive in the presence of oxygen?
Anaerobic bacteria are organisms that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. They rely on alternative metabolic processes to generate energy in environments with low or no oxygen. Examples include some species of bacteria found in the human gut or extreme environments like deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
Can salmon survive in both freshwater and saltwater environments?
Yes, salmon can survive in both freshwater and saltwater environments. They are anadromous fish, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean to grow and mature, and then return to freshwater to spawn.
Why do goldfish live in the pond?
Goldfish are freshwater fish and can not survive in saltwater environments (oceans, etc) They can only survive in freshwater (non saltwater such as ponds, rivers, and lakes).
Can snails live in water?
Yes, snails can live in water. They are able to survive in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
Can freshwater clams survive in saltwater?
No.
What freshwater fish survive in saltwater tank?
Certain freshwater fish can survive saltwater conditions; examples are black mollies, mono's and scats. All of these fish aren't truly freshwater or saltwater, they are Brackish. Brackish is between freshwater and saltwater, and so these fish are highly adaptable.
Do ghost shrimp live in saltwater or freshwater?
Many species go by the common name "ghost shrimp." If you're referring to Palaemonid shrimp of the genus Palaemonetes,there are freshwater, brackish, and saltwater species.
Can plants survive in saltwater and freshwater?
yes

Are brine shrimp freshwater?
no, as brine shrimp are saltwater animals and will not survive in freshwater.
Can a freshwater fish disease survive in saltwater?
cheese
Can saltwater mussels live in freshwater?
I believe the fresh and salt water mussels are different species and will not survive in one another specialised environments.
Can a Teredo Worm or other saltwater wood eating critter live once the wood is out of salt water?
No, once a Teredo worm or other saltwater wood-eating critter is removed from its saltwater habitat, it will die as it requires saltwater to survive and feed on wood. These critters are specialized for living in saltwater environments and cannot survive in freshwater or on land.
