A scientific monitoring probe floats vertically in two different lakes: a Freshwater Lake and a Hypersaline Lake (which has a very high salt concentration).

Cylindrical scientific probe floating in a Freshwater Lake and a Hypersaline Lake. In the Freshwater Lake, the probe is mostly submerged. In the Hypersaline Lake, a significantly smaller portion of the probe is submerged.

Explain why a smaller volume of the probe is submerged beneath the surface in the Hypersaline Lake than in the Freshwater Lake.
