Oda stated in SBS that Devil Fruit users are susceptible to all types of water, not just seawater. This includes the white sea surrounding Skypiea. He elaborated on this, saying that "moving" water, like rain or waves, does not weaken Devil Fruit users, while standing water does.
It is said that the Devil Fruits are the fruits of Sea Devil, so even if most of them provide a great power, they're cursed. Quoting One Piece's wiki: The sea rejects the new Devil Fruit user and they become helpless while submerged in water. Also, Oda said in SBS that Devil Fruit users are vulnerable to all types of water, not just salt/sea water.

One is just chance, the majority of parents we see in One Piece end up dying in flashbacks, and devil fruits are reasonably rare, and even if we were to believe, for example, that Edward Weevil is Whitebeard's son, there is no sign that he has the powers of the tremor fruit.
Taken from the One Piece Wiki on Devil Fruits: When a Devil Fruit user dies, their ability is reborn into another fruit of the same kind.

Wiki quotes: By taking advantage of the unique physical abilities granted by his Devil Fruit, Luffy has invented techniques that augment his speed and strength in different ways, though ...
Yes, fish-men retain their ability to breathe underwater, even if they have a devil fruit. As an example, we have Jack the Drought of the Beasts Pirates. He is a giant grouper fish-man and ate the Zou Zou no Mi, Model: Mammoth. Since he is a Devil Fruit user, he has lost the ability to swim, but because he is a fish-man, he can breathe underwater.
Each fruit has it's own individual weakness and strengths. Like fire < water, fire > smoke. Luffy touched a Seastone that had to have salt on it. Luffy has fallen in water and most likely seawater at least once. So I conclude that salt does not effect all Devil Fruit users.
Some users have some idea what their fruit is when they eat it. Others only have partial knowledge of their abilities. The Barrier Fruit is based off a children's game. If Bartolomeo knew that he had this fruit, they could have tried to enact that game to see if it worked. This can be combined with experimentation to improve fruits.
