Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
Cold water with high salinity
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.

Enclosed bays tend to have high salinity
cold water w/ high salinity
A biome with a salinity of 0.005 would likely be a freshwater biome, such as a river, lake, or stream. This low salinity level indicates a lack of significant dissolved salts or minerals commonly found in saltwater environments.

No, salinity would be abiotic.
What causes low salinity in the oceans at high latitudes?In subtropical latitudes, high surface evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface. In subpolar latitudes, high precipitation creates low salinity near the sea surface. As these waters flow into the ocean interior, they create layers of high and low salinity.
Low salinity refers to the condition of water having a lower concentration of dissolved salts compared to seawater. This can occur in areas where freshwater input dilutes the salt content or due to specific environmental conditions such as rainfall or melting ice. Low salinity levels can have impacts on aquatic ecosystems and influence ocean circulation patterns.
No, the vast majority of Freshwater Fish would not be able to deal with the high salinity of ocean water and would die in the ocean. The same with Saltwater Fish, the vast majority would not be able to deal with the low salinity of fresh water and would die in a lake or river.
