George S. Myers defined the term diadromous to refer to fish that migrate between fresh and salt water.
Diadromous fish migrate between fresh and salt water. This term, coined by George S. Myers in 1949, refers to both anadromous and catadromous fishes. Diadromous life history strategies have evolved in numerous fish taxa. The complex life cycles do require complex osmoregulatory adaptation but the advantages of the given environments for specific life stages of the fish outweigh the costs.
