Water bodies Salinity (Parts per thousands) Inland water (mesohaline) < 5 Sea (euryhaline) 30 - 35 Hypersaline lagoons (hyperhaline) > 100
| Water bodies | Salinity (Parts per thousands) |
| Inland water (mesohaline) | < 5 |
| Sea (euryhaline) | 30 - 35 |
| Hypersaline lagoons (hyperhaline) | > 100 |
