Title is self explanatory. Do freshwater fish ever accidentally find themselves in brackish or saltwater? How do they deal with that?

I’m not sure it is an accident …

Salmon start in fresh water. They migrate to the ocean. They live there for years, then return to fresh water to spawn and die.

Some rainbow trout can migrate to salt water and “become” (get renamed) to steelhead trout. They spend a couple of years then return to spawn.
