amilner Big Fish Posts: 429 Kudos: 654 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2004 | Water with a concentration of salt but not completely marine. Brackish waters are the 'boundaries' whereby freshwater rivers meet the sea/ocean. [span class="edited"][Edited by 2004-08-03 18:46][/span] |

Some fish like that kind of water, or can only live in brackish water. Examples are many kinds of pufferfish, and some of the livebearers. |
