What kind of fish lives by the delta fresh water fish or salt water fish?

Both kinds of fish can live in a delta area. The line between salt water fish and fresh water fish seems to be getting blurrier.

It appears that salt water fish adapt better than fresh water fish as the fish found in fresh water are not found out at sea.


What water balance problem to salt ocean fish face?

Lets See If This Answers Your Question... Fresh Water Fish have A Liver That Can Process All Kinds of Stuff From Fresh Water.

An example of osmosis in animals?

An example of osmosis in animals is the movement of water through a fish's gills. The fish's body is saltier than the surrounding water, so water moves from an area of lower salt concentration (the water) to an area of higher salt concentration (the fish's body) to establish equilibrium. This helps the fish maintain its internal salt balance.

If fishes can survive in salt and fresh water what are their range of tolerance?

Many fish that do so, such as salmon, move between these environments at a slow pace. Many fish are adapted to live in either condition but that change can occur. Higher concentrations of salt would cause a freshwater fish to become dehydrated and eventually die. Fresh water would affect salt water fish by bloating. Water is used to balance the effects of salt but when salt water fish are introduced to fresh water quickly that balance is upset and thus, we have a high amount of water, bloating.
