The simple fact is that pure salt water creatures cannot change to survive in fresh or brackish water in 40 days.  Pure fresh water creatures cannot change to survive in brackish or salt water in 40 days.  There are a FEW specialized fish that can make the transition (salmon... once) and a few others.  However, it is a simple fact that most cannot.  

The only recourse you have to require a miracle.  This is totally non-scientific.

And here's the cool part about this. You don't even have to take Ogre's word for it. You don't even have to know shit about biology.

Set up a salt-water fish tank at your house. Get some lovely salt-water fish going in it. Dump a shit-load of rain water into the tank. Watch the fish die.

It's straight-up chemistry. Osmosis will cause the fresh water you dumped into the tank to rush into the bodies of the fish to try and equalize the solute concentration between inside and outside the fish bodies. The fish will bloat and die right in front of you.

Try it, Tardbucket. Don't take my word for it. Go WATCH what would happen to the fish if your story book were true with your own eyes.
