Fun fact, salinity is one of the factors (other being temperature and pressure) in how sound (I.e sonar) propagates in the ocean so the Navy has done much of the research in this space.
Salinity also plays a factor in depth control for submarines (because it changes the density of the water). There is a big salinity change going between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean that causes… problems if a submarine isn’t carefu
