Salt rock, the mineral made of pure salt:
Tropical brackish water fish named after a pollenating insect:
Organisms that change the level of salt in their blood as the salt level of the surrounding water changes:
Reptilian nasal salt gland user endemic to the Galápagos:
Dissolving a solute in a solvent gives you one of these:
Oceanic fish, common on the east coast of the U.S., that raises its young in an estuary:
Referring to a substance that is relatively more dilute (less dissolved substances):
Vertebrate internal organ that’s most often associated with regulating blood salinity:
Refers to fish born in the ocean that migrate inland to grow:
Often (but not always) a brackish water fish with a dangerous looking dorsal fin:
Genus name for the little crustaceans that can tolerate exceptionally salty water (sold as “sea monkies”):
Marsh plant that can tolerate salt water by secreting little salt deposits called exudates:
Bacterial organisms that thrive in super-saline water, usually turning it a reddish color:
Birds that feed on these bacteria (and brine shrimp) and actually become reddish in the process:
The chemical composition of Instant Ocean® / table salt (symbol or word):
Ovoviviparous fish that is tropical and favors brackish water (and resides in the back of the room):
Referring to a substance that is relatively more concentrated (more dissolved substances):
Unique desert fish that is considered the world’s rarest vertebrate:
Small, segmented, intertidal animals that demonstrate osmoconformity:
The amount of dissolved salt in water:
Tropical brackish water fish with the ability to knock insects into the water using spit power:
A component of precipitation, this falls from the sky and dissolves rocks on the surface of the Earth:
Shrinking of a cell due to loss of water (osmotic pressure pushing water out of a cell):
Sexual dimorphism is evident in these euryhaline (but usually fresh-water) fish (hint: they love Culex larvae):
Refers to fish that hatch in fresh water and migrate out to sea to grow:
A unit to determine concentration of dissolved substances in a solution (stands for “parts per thousand”):
Type of glands that help sea turtles secrete excess salt:
A charged particle (atom or molecule), like Na+, which combines with Cl- to make a neutral molecule of salt.
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane:
Chemical, typically a waste product, that sharks allow to build up in their bodies as a way to reduce salt:
Condition in which two solutions on either side of a barrier are equal in concentration to each other:
Type of freshwater plant often used in biology experiments:
Aquatic environment that is rich in plant life where numerous types of fish lay their eggs:
Coastal trees that allocate individual leaves, which turn bright yellow, to concentrate dissolved salt into:
Type of water that is slightly salty (compared to the ocean), found where rivers slowly meet the sea:
Organisms that maintain a constant level of salinity in their blood despite changes in the surroundings:
Chemical used to determine the presence of chloride ions (hence salt) in a solution:
Refers to animals, like oysters, with a high tolerance for changes in salinity:
A completely unique amphibian, the only one capable of tolerating salt water:
Refers to animals, like open ocean fish, with a low tolerance for any change in salinity.
