    Salt levels in saltwater fish shouldn't actually be significantly different from those in freshwater fish, I think.

    correct
    salt levels in saltwater fish are no different from those in freshwater fish
    they process the water differently in order to maintain normal salinity levels
    they also use some process to keep the salt in the water from sucking the moisture out of their bodies, which is necessary because their salinity is lower than that of the water
