Question

Is it too salty for any fish or would a salt water fish be able to survive if transplanted there.

Answer 1

The Great Salt Lake is exactly like the Dead Sea, it's to salinic for any fish. Fish skin osmolarity can't compete with high levels of salinity in water.

Answer 2

the high salinty of the great salt lake makes it hard for anything to live in there, except for brine shrimp and some algae, making food for many shore birds. Also the lake contains high levels of mercury (25Nonagrams per liter)even one nano is too much.
