I'm assuming you're talking about osmosis. If osmosis didn't occur, then the saltwater salmon couldn't adapt to freshwater and would suffer from a lack of water and too much salt in the cells, and the freshwater salmon would have too much water and not enough salt in it's cells. The saltwater salmon would shrivel up in freshwater, and the freshwater salmon would burst in saltwater.

Salmon adapt to freshwater after leaving saltwater through a mechanism involving ion regulation and osmoregulation. In saltwater, their cells face dehydration due to higher external salinity, requiring them to actively excrete salt ions through specialized cells in their gills. Upon entering freshwater, salmon switch to absorbing ions and retaining water, utilizing different ion transport mechanisms to maintain osmotic balance. This adaptive response is facilitated by changes in gene expression and the functionality of ion transporters in their gills and kidneys.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for. But, in saltwater fishes the cells in the gills secrete salt inte the sea water, whereas, in freshwater fish the cells in the gills actively transport salts from the water into the body.
