Answer:

these creatures live only in salt-water environments.

Explanation:

These creatures are chordates, which are small thin shaped marine organisms. In this scenario it can be said that the scientists concerns are misplaced because they live only in salt-water environments. Therefore since they want to release the venom in a fresh-water environment there will be none of these creatures living there.
