How would there be fresh water in the Arctic Rivers?
What would happen to the fish?

Dear Joseph,
The fresh water in the Arctic rivers comes from a few differnet places. Some of the fresh water comes from snow melting and running into the rivers, other of the water comes from precitation that soaks into the ground and then this underground water moves through the earth system and ending up in the river. Finally water comes from the permafost melting as well. I hope this answer your question..
Amy
