Can salt water shrimps live in fresh water?

Salt water shrimps cannot live in fresh water because their bodies are not adapted to the lower salinity levels. Salt water shrimps have a specialized organ called the "gill" which is used to extract oxygen from the water. The gill is designed to function optimally in water with a high salt concentration. When placed in fresh water, the salt water shrimps will not be able to extract enough oxygen from the water and will eventually die. Additionally, the sudden change in salinity can cause osmotic stress, which can also lead to the death of the shrimps.
