Organisms that tolerate narrow range of salinity are
Euryhaline
Stenohaline
Eurythermal
Hypersaline
Hypersaline
B.
Stenohaline
Stenohaline organism is an organism that cannot tolerate a wide fluctuation in the salinity of water. Eg, fish
Euryhaline is an organism that is able to tolerate a wide range of salinity. Eg, molly.
Eurythermal organisms are the organisms that are able to tolerate a wide range of temperatures.
A hypersaline lake is a landlocked body of water that contains significant concentrations of sodium chloride or other salts.
Stenothermal is an organism that are able to tolerate only a small range of temperature.
