Freshwater fish

Freshwater fish are fish species that spend some or all of their lives in bodies of fresh water such as rivers, lakes, ponds and inland wetlands, where the salinity is less than 1. 05%. These environments differ from marine habitats in many ways, especially the difference in levels of osmolarity.

To survive in fresh water, fish need a range of physiological adaptations.
