The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the organisms (I. Salmon, II. Shark, III. Stingray) are stenohaline and euryhaline, we need to understand the definitions of these terms and apply them to each organism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Stenohaline and Euryhaline:** - **Stenohaline** organisms are those that can only tolerate a narrow range of salinity. This means they can survive in either freshwater or saltwater but not in both. - **Euryhaline** organisms can tolerate a wide range of salinity. They can thrive in both freshwater and saltwater environments. 2. **Analyzing Salmon:** - Salmon are known for their unique life cycle. They typically live in seawater but migrate to freshwater to spawn. After spawning, the young salmon can return to the ocean. - Because salmon can survive in both freshwater and saltwater, they are classified as **euryhaline**. 3. **Analyzing Shark:** - Sharks are primarily marine animals. They are adapted to live in saltwater environments and cannot survive in freshwater. - Therefore, sharks are classified as **stenohaline**. 4. **Analyzing Stingray:** - Similar to sharks, stingrays are also primarily found in marine environments and are not adapted to tolerate freshwater. - Thus, stingrays are also classified as **stenohaline**. 5. **Final Classification:** - **Euryhaline:** Salmon - **Stenohaline:** Shark and Stingray ### Conclusion: - **Salmon** is euryhaline. - **Shark** and **Stingray** are stenohaline.
