Basically they got cut off.

There is an interesting lake in my country, Lake Taal its actually a Caldera of an active volcano that used to be connected to the sea. A few centuries ago in recorded history an eruotion cased it to be blocked from the sea.

Saltwater fish eventually evolved to survive the lake.
