An aquatic ecosystem derives its identity from the interaction between its watery environment and the living organisms that inhabit it. The two types of aquatic ecosystems are freshwater and marine, and the main difference is the salinity concentration.

Answer:

main difference between freshwater and marine life is the habitat they come from in the wild. Freshwater fish live in streams, rivers and lakes that have salinity of less than 0.05 percent. Depending on the species, fish can survive in temperatures ranging from 5 and 24 degrees Celsius
