Facultative halophiles are organisms that can grow in environments with high salt concentration but can also survive in lower-salt conditions. They are commonly found in freshwater but can grow in salt-preserved fish if the salt concentration is not high enough to inhibit their growth. Therefore, they are the most likely group of microorganisms to spoil a freshwater trout preserved with salt.
