Are there such things ?
I know from reading the sticky on salt, that freshwater parasites are not unable to live in a salted environment and vise verse for marine parasites.
If freshwater are exposed to a high enough concentration of salt or for a long period of time, they'll burst and die. The same can be said of marine parasites exposed to freshwater.
However, what about brackish water parasites ? will exposing them to pure freshwater or pure sea water kill them ? or would they be able to continue surviving ?
Also is it possible that a parasite can adapt to both freshwater and salt water (above 7ppt) ?
