    Solution:

    Euryhaline organisms can tolerate of a wide range of salinities. Examples include the shore crab (Carcinus maenas), Tilapia (Oreochromis), Salmon, etc.

    Stenohaline organisms are restricted to a narrow range of salinities. Many freshwater animals (e.g., the goldfish) cannot live for long in sea water and vice versa because of the osmotic problems, they would face.
