Why can some Pacific salt water fish live in fresh water?

tkept asked:


Why can Coho and King Salmon live in fresh water inland lakes ( Great lakes for example ) when they are a Pacific salt water fish. I understand Atlantic Salmon can not. Also why can Dunginess crab only live in the Pacific or Maine Lobsters can only live in the atlantic ? The temperatures are the same for the most part. Is there a big difference in the salinity of the water?

I need to know why salt water fish die in fresh water. Can someone tell me? I’m hoping it really relates to cells, osmosis, hypotonic, hypertonic, etc….
