Some things cannot live in water that is not salty! Like most marine fish!

"An osmoconformer is a marine invertebrate that regulates its internal salinity such that it is always equal to the surrounding seawater. These animals keep their body fluids isotonic to the external environments. These animals thus do not have to actively adjust their internal osmotic state. Marine invertebrates as well as hagfish are osmoconformers."
Of course they wouldn't be found in freshwater.

Of course osmoconformers could be found in freshwater...like after a very turbulent storm or something...
