No idea of actual numbers but it would not surprise me if saltwater has about 1,000 x more species than freshwater.
But, life can be quite sparse in either. Yuo will probably have to concentrate your sample either with a Plankton Net or a Centrifuge.
Or, rather than sample the water column try collecting some of the detritus at the bottom of either habitat; I believe this is where you will find much of the microscopic life.

” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
