While happily having lunch with your family with a freshly baked red snapper fish right from the ocean sea on a boat in the middle of The South China Sea, had you ever thought that the fish is not salty despite being in the salted water 247 all the time?
As an observer, I had the thought i.e the question many years ago and I had tried to find the reasons behind it.
And, I had found it.
THE HORIZON MIND:
The Horizon Mind covers the 6 elements to each topic in the blogs; includes Overview, MyStory, MyAnalysis, Iconic References, Summary and What’s Next.

1.0 OVERVIEW
One of the concepts, Arel Moodie, author and motivational speaker discussed was “the average of 5”, a rule that states that you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. For example, if you constantly hang out with negative people, you will ultimately find yourself becoming a negative person too. If you spend a lot of time with friends who all work hard to get high GPAs, you will find that you also work hard to keep your GPA within that range too (I’ve personally experienced this phenomenon).Humans are influenced by experience, education, culture and the surroundings. Humans could never be the same as sea fish in the sea water; they are not salty when we eat them even though they had been surrounded by salt water (i.e. seawater) throughout their whole life.
Humans are just easily be influenced by the surroundings. Thus, we need to be aware of our surroundings, it is influencing us indirectly.
But, why are salt water fish not salty to eat? They 'breathe' in salt water and drink it too.
2.0. MY STORY
My years of friendship with a lot of friends since the early days had developed myself as of today. My critical thinking and observing attitude had let me to think and to choose the surrounding friends to be the best friends since the schooling time. I have seen my friends got hooked with their circle of friends which had turned them into what they are today.
It is our decision to be influenced by our circle of friends and personally I do hope that the younger generation to be prudent into choosing their circle of friends.
By having The SeaFish in the Ocean’s awareness, we could be well prepared that we are easily be influenced by our surroundings and we cannot be like the seafish in the ocean.
3.0 MY ANALYSIS
But why they are not salty when we eat them?
Dr. Daniel Pauly, the Principal Investigator of the Sea Around Us Initiative and a Professor in the Institute For The Oceans and Fisheries at the University of British Columbia, has the answer : Marine fish need to maintain a balance of electrolytes - including salt - in their body, that is lower than the amount of salt in their environment. This is important for the various chemical changes, nerve reactions and other biological processes that take place within their bodies.
Because if marine fish take in so much salt, they need to get rid of the excess. This is mainly done through their kidneys and gills in the form of urine. If this process did not occur, salt would build up beyond the healthy levels and the fish would die.
But why the sea fish becomes an iconic reference for us to remember.
