The answer is reflex action. Impulse that triggers a reflex action does not pass through the brain so as to shorten the time for response. It passes through a reflex arch and this is why the muscles are contracted even without time to think of what happened. The sensory and motor neurons only arch at the spinal cord.

Well, there are two kinds of organisms: osmoregulators, that can regulate the level of salt and the salinity does not affect them (an example is salmon: for salmon this sentence is true. Generally, for most fish this sentence is true)

However, for some species, such shark - osmoconformers - this is false: they are affected by the salinity. in general I would conclude that This is false: the marine salinity DOES affect the fish (and other organisms) living there.
