Brackish water , sometimes termed brack water , is water occurring in a natural environment that has more salinity than freshwater , but not as much as seawater . It may result from mixing seawater (salt water) and fresh water together, as in estuaries , or it may occur in brackish fossil aquifers . The word comes from the Middle Dutch root brak . Certain human activities can produce brackish water, in particular civil engineering projects such as dikes and the flooding of coastal marshland to produce brackish water pools for freshwater prawn farming . Brackish water is also the primary waste product of the salinity gradient power process. Because brackish water is hostile to the growth of most terrestrial plant species, without appropriate management it can be damaging to the environment (see article on shrimp farms ).

They are usually found in sandy areas, especially near coral reefs . They have a long life span, up to 46 years (females) and 39 years (males). Commercial fisheries exist for the largest species, making them important food fish. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns pregnant or breastfeeding women against eating tilefish and some other fish due to mercury contamination. Exceptionally colorful smaller species of tilefish are favored for aquariums . The family

River estuaries form important staging points during the migration of anadromous and catadromous fish species, such as salmon , shad and eels , giving them time to form social groups and to adjust to the changes in salinity. Salmon are anadromous, meaning they live in the sea but ascend rivers to spawn; eels are catadromous, living in rivers and streams, but returning to

Besides the species that migrate through estuaries, there are many other fish that use them as "nursery grounds" for spawning or as places young fish can feed and grow before moving elsewhere.
