Euryhaline organisms are more likely to be found in estuaries, as they can tolerate a wide range of salinities. Stenohaline organisms, which can only tolerate narrow salinity ranges, are less common in estuaries because of the fluctuating salinity levels in this environment.
Estuaries would be a likely environment for marine organisms well adapted to drastic changes in salinity, as estuaries experience fluctuations in salinity levels due to the mixing of freshwater from rivers and saltwater from the ocean. Organisms in estuarine environments have developed physiological mechanisms to tolerate these changes.

Salinity is the abiotic factor that would likely have the greatest effect on an estuary. Estuaries are characterized by the mixing of freshwater from rivers and saltwater from the ocean, creating a unique environment. Changes in salinity levels can significantly impact the types of species that can thrive there, influencing biodiversity and ecosystem health. Additionally, fluctuations in salinity can affect nutrient availability and the overall productivity of the estuarine ecosystem.

This is likely a transposition of fjord (a sea inlet or estuary).
It is likely that stenohaline freshwater fish would die. Others with better osmoregulatory abilities might be able to survive.
