Wow. This is a great thread! There are so many good posts and points on both sides.
Okay I want to put my 2 cents in.
First even though i feel that this and the salt issue is off topic I want to post a quick response to:

Personally, I'm surprised I haven't seen a creationist at EvC argue that the dolphin and whale belong to the "fish kind" yet. Before coming here, at other forums I had to explain a million times that dolphins and whales ain't no fish. They're not even cold blooded.
... The Kingdoms, Phylums, Subphylums and Infraphylums didn't come around until way after the bible was written. IMO, they saw it in the water and said.. "fish"

I think the fish died during the flood by the hot water and massive disruption of sediment (buried in mud) from the fountains of the deep breaking up. In other words Walt Brown's Hydroplate theory. There are several theories on the great deluge and catastrophology, but from what I have seen thus far, this one explains the fish dying the best.
