Seagrasses are marine plants that have adapted to grow in saltwater environments, where they rely on saline conditions for physiological balance. When placed in fresh water, the osmotic pressure changes, causing their cells to take in excess water and potentially leading to cellular swelling and damage. This disruption in their internal balance affects their metabolism and can ultimately result in their death. Additionally, the lack of necessary nutrients and the altered microbial environment in fresh water can further stress and kill seagrasses.
Most salt water fish will die if placed in fresh water.
it will die
because there is a difference in salinity which means less salt there is alot less in fresh water
beacuse it needs salt.
die..and its body will float on the surface
They die because they can not live in saltwater, due to the salt.
Explain what would happen if a piece of seaweed from the ocean was placed in a fresh water aquarium?
If you wish a fresh water fish to be kept alive and well so that it may be studied or kept as a pet. The fish will need to be placed in a suitable container with suitable water that has suitable parameters. Without water a fish will die just like you would die if your air supply was removed. If the fish was a fresh water fish and the water was salt as opposed to fresh, to the fish, it would be similar to what would happen to you if someone put poisoned gas in your personal air supply. You would be extremely ill and then die. So would the fish.
There are certain types of perch that live in salt water, so in that case nothing would happen. However, if a fresh water perch was placed in salt water it would die. There are very few fish that can go between salt water and fresh water and perch is not one of them.
the marine fish would pretty much suffocate and die. so putting marine fish in fresh water is not a good idea.
If the fish are an Estuarine species it is possible that they could be slowly and gently converted to live in fresh water. They would however die of shock if they are taken from salt water and suddenly placed in fresh. If they are true marine fish from the Ocean, then they will never live in fresh water no matter what you do.
No, don't try it. No. The salt would disolve. And don't try it
