Euryhaline is an organism that can stand a wide salinity range.

[{"selector":"#anim-f8e12f54-3c97-43c7-beff-f9dfa0d158fd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.28663%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9ace37f4-b41c-43f6-97bc-8863977b6af0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c4697f2e-61bc-4617-8aa9-9164d5c368f6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c61ba0c-1ddd-4c60-bfd5-825f9d5d9e91","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-787ee34a-a9b2-42fe-8c7b-db7d4773c1ac","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Euryhaline is commonly found in tide pools and estuaries. Example: Green crab.

Through diffusion, osmoconformers reduce the net water in or out of their bodies.

These organisms maintain internal solute concentration equal to the osmolarity of the external medium.

[{"selector":"#anim-98b25a8b-5231-41a9-8519-da5f02156be4","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-788c5902-0029-483c-b488-39a59fbfd6d6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The body of these organisms continuously takes in or sends out water and electrolytes.

[{"selector":"#anim-07c86847-ea5e-4f6b-8b3c-d5da624af46f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-446f24f9-0773-4c25-91b1-1dc1b4e4cad0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
