Organisms that thrive in environments with high concentrations of salt are specifically referred to as halophiles. These organisms have adaptations that allow them to survive in conditions that would be lethal to most other forms of life, such as salt flats, salt lakes, and curing brines.

The question asks for the scientific term for organisms that prefer high salt concentrations. Halophiles are a type of extremophile organism.

Alkaliphiles are organisms that thrive in alkaline environments (high pH). Calcifuges are plants that avoid calcium-rich soils. Nitrophiles are organisms, typically plants, that prefer environments rich in nitrogen compounds, often associated with pollution or manure.
