Dear student
Stenohaline describes an organism, usually fish, that cannot tolerate a wide fluctuation in the salinity of water. Stenohaline is derived from the words: "steno" meaning narrow, and "haline" meaning salt. ... Many marine fish, such as haddock, are also stenohaline and die in water with lower salinity.
