Some animals that live primarily in saltwater need fresh water because saltwater does not absorb the necessary impurities from their metabolic systems.

Salmon and some species of eels spend part of their life cycle in fresh water (where they have to retain salt) and part in the sea (where they have to balance their body salt with the saltwater around them).
