what does brackish mean?

 

[Teelie]

It's the middle area between full saltwater and full freshwater. In other words, more salt than freshwater but less than true saltwater.

Well put!

In nature, brackish water is found in coastal regions where freshwater rivers, streams and marshes meet the sea and in tidal rivers and deltas like the Nile.

No.
Dwarf puffers (Carinotetraodon travancoricus) are true freshwater fish, they require no salt.
