If a marine fish is placed in a fresh water aquarium, will the fish be able to survive ? Why or why not ?

Solution
The marine fish are adapted to high salt concentration and if kept in fresh water they cannot regulate the water entering their body. The body of a marine fish has high concentration as compared to fresh water and so water enters the fish's body through endosmosis and may lead to bursting of cells and death of the fish. Thus marine water fishes cannot survive in fresh water.
