<P> This is a list of bodies of water by salinity that is limited to natural bodies of water that have a stable salinity above 0.5%, at or below which water is considered fresh . On average, seawater has a salinity of 3.5% (or 35 parts per thousand). </P> <P> Water salinity often varies by location and season, particularly with hypersaline lakes in arid areas, so the salinity figures in the table below should be interpreted as an approximate indicator . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Salinity, g / kg (‰) </Th> <Th> Name </Th> <Th> Type </Th> <Th> Region or countries </Th> <Th> Refs </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 433 </Td> <Td> Gaet'ale Pond </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Ethiopia </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 403 </Td> <Td> Don Juan Pond </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Antarctica </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 400 </Td> <Td> Lake Retba </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Senegal </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 350 </Td> <Td> Lake Vanda </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Antarctica </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 350 </Td> <Td> Garabogazköl </Td> <Td> Lagoon </Td> <Td> Turkmenistan </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 348 </Td> <Td> Lake Assal </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Djibouti </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 337 </Td> <Td> Dead Sea </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Israel, Jordan, Palestine </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 85--280 </Td> <Td> Lake Urmia </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Iran </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 50--270 </Td> <Td> Great Salt Lake </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> United States </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 180 </Td> <Td> Little Manitou Lake </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Canada </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 50--99 </Td> <Td> Mono Lake </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> United States </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 44 </Td> <Td> Salton Sea </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> United States </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 38 </Td> <Td> Mediterranean Sea </Td> <Td> Mediterranean sea </Td> <Td> Southern Europe, Levant, North Africa </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 36--41 </Td> <Td> Red Sea </Td> <Td> Mediterranean sea </Td> <Td> Middle East </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 30--40 </Td> <Td> Lake Natron </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Tanzania </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 35 </Td> <Td> Pacific Ocean </Td> <Td> Ocean </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 35 </Td> <Td> Atlantic Ocean </Td> <Td> Ocean </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 28--32 </Td> <Td> Beaufort Sea </Td> <Td> Marginal Sea </Td> <Td> North of Alaska and northern Canada </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 0.13--31.73 </Td> <Td> Chilika Lake </Td> <Td> Lagoon </Td> <Td> India </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 13--23 </Td> <Td> Black Sea </Td> <Td> Mediterranean sea </Td> <Td> Eastern Europe, Turkey </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 23 </Td> <Td> Lake Van </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Turkey </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 12.5 </Td> <Td> Caspian Sea </Td> <Td> Inland sea </Td> <Td> Central Asia </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 11.4 </Td> <Td> Sarygamysh Lake </Td> <Td> Salt lake </Td> <Td> Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> Baltic Sea </Td> <Td> Mediterranean sea </Td> <Td> Northern Europe </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Salinity, g / kg (‰) </Th> <Th> Name </Th> <Th> Type </Th> <Th> Region or countries </Th> <Th> Refs </Th> </Tr>
