These things have been asked and answered repeatedly, See, for example, here.

You might want to consider an approach other than rhetorically nitpicking the topic ...

Perhaps some of the fish swam or was taken out into the salt water as the flood water receded thus, they survived and became salt water fish. Some was swept up and caught in areas where they were not carried out to salt water, in this situation they adapted themselves, thrived, and became able to live in freshwater......
Survival of the fittest.................

Or perhaps during the days on the Ark, a saltwater and freshwater fish mated and when they left the ark they divided up the "babies" and each went back to their own way of life.......thus part became freshwater and part became saltwater.????

Another possibility - the Great Flood never happened. Or, at least, it didn't literally happen as described in the Bible.

There are many more problems with the mythical biblical deluge than just the fish problem. In 1993 Climatologist at GISP2 recovered the deepest ice core in the world, 3053.44 meters long, and calculated by layer counting and chemical analyses that the Greenland Ice shelf is at least 110,000 years old. If there had been a universal biblical deluge in the last 4 or 5,000 years all the real old glaciers would have floated away and the only glaciers in the world today should be as old as the biblical deluge, correct.

I don't know why everybody seems to have forgotten about the Ark's aquarium deck.

The thing I've always wondered, how did an olive tree survive being submerged in salt water for 40 days?

[Arlanbb]

The olive trees were submerged for over 210 days before the salt waters left the land, not 40.

Kinda missed the point, there, Arlan.

I've never identified the flood story as a story explaining why evolution doesn't exist.

If you were alive in Spain some four hundred years ago, and said what you just said, I'm sure you would've met the love and benevolence of God through his inquisitors.
