Pre-flood, all the ocean water was briny (slightly salty) and all the fish lived comfortably in the briny water. As the flood happened (over many days) the fish would have had enough time to adjust to the difference in salinity. Besides, we can observe fresh water fish adjust to salt water by slowly adding salt to their tank over many days. What kills the fish is when you add too much without giving it time to adjust. Like how we can survive changes in speed if they are slow, but we get crippled when our speed changes instantly.

also, it says "the fountains of the deep" broke open. all water that is salty is that way because it's pulled minerals from the bed of any surface it's praveled upon. since most of the water came from these fountains (giant geysers) it wouldn't be moving under ground making it all fresh water.

Eh, floods worldwide obviously happened as coastlines were consumed and things like the Mediterranean Sea instead of the Mediterranean lake formed... Or the Great lakes... or most of the western coast of the Americas being flooded... or the land bridge between SE Asia and Australia turning into a scatter patch work of islands. It would be far more surprising if there weren't thousands of flood "myths".

I remember reading something about them finding evidence that a piece of the ice walls in the south pole broke off and would have caused a wave big enough to flood the middle east which would have been the entire world to the people involved in the bible

The straits of Gibraltar collapsing is what led to the Mediterranean being flooded, but the date of that is debatable, even though it lines up with at least it opening enough for the Sea to form at the end of the last ice age. It might have slowly eroded over time, where the Mediterranean was a basin that was flooded every so often, kind of creating something similar to the great lakes. Anyway, the evidence is at the bottom, and we hilariously suck at exploring underwater.

Noah and his family would have had to carry all the diseases known to man to keep their populations going
