As a fish moves from salt water to fresh water, its cells undergo osmosis, where water moves into the cells because the concentration of solutes inside the cells is higher than that in the surrounding fresh water. This can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst if the fish does not regulate the influx of water. To cope with this change, the fish may excrete more dilute urine to remove excess water and adjust its internal salt balance.

Why marine fish cannot survive at fresh water aquarium?

It is about osmoregulation. Salt water fish has some level of salt in its cells, which is low in concentration than marine water and more than the freshwater. If you put a saltwater fish in fresh water, excess amount of water will enter the cells of the fish and the cells rupture. This is why salt water fish cannot survive in freshwater.
