I was trying to read about why freshwater fish die in saltwater but it was still a little confusing to me.
In: Biology
It’s the same reason we humans can’t drink ocean water unlike river water. Our bodies aren’t made to deal with such high quantities of salt, same as fresh water fish. Well, someone has already explained it very well. I just thought of putting it in simpler terms: Salt water fish were born to be able to deal with the high amount of salt, while fresh water fish weren’t, so they’ll die if swapped places. Like how we humans would die from drinking salt water.
