Can ocean salt water fishes survive in fresh water ?

Answer Posted / roja venkitesh

Marine fishes can'tlive in freshwater because in the body
of marine fishes the concentration of salt is high and the
concentration of water is low.so the water molecules moves
from higher concentration to lower concentration.There is a
chance to swell the body of fish and burst by endosmosis
and die up.Fresh water fishes can't live in seawater.Because
through exosmosis the fish would die.
