Amount of salt<br />

Some fish cannot live in water with lots of salt and some<br />

need salt to survive.<br />

There are 3 types of underwater environment with<br />

different levels of salt:<br />

Freshwater: Water which contains very little salt. Most<br />

ponds, lakes and rivers are freshwater.<br />

Saltwater: All of the world’s oceans and seas have high<br />

levels of salt.<br />

Brackish water: Brackish water exists where freshwater<br />

rivers meet saltwater seas. The levels of salt change all<br />

the time.
