One of the recent MacArthur Genius award winners studies undersea brine pools. These pools are so much saltier than the rest of the sea water that they remain distinct from it, and seem to only support bacterial life.
The one creature that can transcend the difference is the gulf hagfish.

Gotta love those insane freaks of evolution. The Gulf Hagfish, The Asian Carp, Jerome Kearse....
