Environments (which may also be thalassic) in which the salinity variation is biologically significant. Poikilohaline water salinities may range anywhere from 0.5 to greater than 300. The important characteristic is that these waters tend to vary in salinity over some biologically meaningful range seasonally or on some other roughly comparable time scale. Put simply, these are bodies of water with quite variable salinity. Highly saline water, from which salts crystallize (or are about to), is referred to as brine.
(от греч. poikilos — различный (может относится к морской среде) характеризуется значимыми с биологической точки зрения изменениями солености. Соленость в этом случае может варьировать от 0.5 до более, чем 300 ‰.

Veekogu, mille soolsus on vahemikus 0,5-300 ‰. Oluline omadus on, et vee soolsus võib hooajaliselt või mingis ajaskaalas varieeruda. Muutuva soolsusega veekogu.
