brackish water

This animal is fond of brackish water, therefore he most commonly inhabits those rivers which border on the sea.

He roams in great troops across the dreary Asiatic deserts, and is fond of bitter and saline herbage, and brackish water.

A variety with wide wavy fronds is sometimes found in the brackish water near the mouths of rivers.

They exist in both fresh and salt water, and some species seem capable of thriving in brackish water of any degree of salinity.

This species thrives well in brackish water, and may be seen far up certain tidal rivers.
