Yes, most freshwater fish were not made to live in saltwater and they can die in the ocean. This is caused by a great loss of weight, due to the water in the fish being pulled out by the salt, and eventually death. About 2% of freshwater fish change to a saltwater environment sometime in their life, but this change happens gradually and they would most likely die if put suddenly into a saltwater environment.
