  Why is the Ocean Salty?
Because the saltiness of the ocean is the result of several natural influences and processes, the salt load of the streams entering the ocean is just one of these factors.
The saltiness of this sea is due in part to the high water temperature (up to 83º F) causing a high rate of evaporation and in part to its remoteness from land; because it is so far from land, it receives no fresh-water inflow.
The ocean is salty because of the gradual concentration of dissolved chemicals eroded from the Earth's crust and washed into the sea.

 MSN Encarta - Taste
In humans, the taste buds are located on the surface and sides of the tongue, the roof of the mouth, and the entrance to the pharynx.
The papillae located at the back of the tongue, and called circumvallate, are arranged to form a V with the angle pointing backward; they transmit the sensation of bitterness.
Those at the tip of the tongue transmit sweetness, whereas saltiness and sourness are transmitted from the papillae on the sides of the tongue.

 The Mystery Mermaid Group - How to mix your own salt water
The saltiness of the marine ecosystem generally stays pretty much the same all day and all year.
Evaporation of water from a marine tank causes the saltiness to increase, because fresh water and a few trace elements leave, but the majority of the salt stays in the tank.
So it’s vital to check the saltiness of your water every day or two and if it has increased then top up with freshwater, not saltwater.

 Ocean surface saltiness influences El Niño forecasts
NASA sponsored scientists have discovered by knowing the salt content of the ocean's surface, they may be able to improve the ability to predict El Nino events.
Scientists, studying the western Pacific Ocean, find regional changes in the saltiness of surface ocean water correspond to changes in upper ocean heat content in the months preceding an El Nino event.
In this lag time, salinity changes have the potential to modify the layers of the ocean and affect the heat content of the western Pacific Ocean; the region where the unusual atmospheric and oceanic behavior associated to El Nino first develops.

 73G-5 Suppression of sourness: A comparative study involving mixtures of organic acids and salty maskers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The objective of this work was to study salt-acid interactions by examining the effects of molarity, weight and relative saltiness of 3 anion-substituted sodium salts (NaCl, NaAcetate and NaGluconate) on the perceived sourness intensity of 3 food grade organic acids (citric, lactic, malic) at perceptually equi-sour levels in a water-based model system.
Mixture sweetness and saltiness intensity ratings were collected on a 16-point intensity scale using a semi-trained discriminatory panel with 17 pre-screened panelists.
Perceived saltiness was related to suppression only in the case of NaCl-acid mixtures, which showed significant sourness reduction without a corresponding pH increase.

 How Did Fish Survive the Flood? - ChristianAnswers.Net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Many of today's fish species are specialized and do not survive in water of radically different saltiness to their usual habitat.
The problem for fish coping with saltiness is this: fish in fresh water tend to absorb water, because the saltiness of their body fluids draws in water (by osmosis).
Fish in saltwater tend to lose water from their bodies because the surrounding water is saltier than their body fluids.

 In 1715 Sir Edmund Halley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In 1715 Sir Edmund Halley (1656-1742; after whom the famous comet is named) assumed that the oceans formed soon after the origin of the Earth and therefore would be only slightly younger that the solid Earth.
He reasoned that the original ocean was not salty and that subsequently salt derived from the weathering and erosion of rocks was brought to the sea by streams and rivers.
Therefore if the total amount of salt dissolved in the oceans was known, and the amount added each year, it may be possible to calculate the age of the oceans.

 How to use duck confit
Madeleine Kamman, author of The New Making of a Cook (Canada, UK), says because confits tend to be salty, they are best served with something sour or sweet and sour, which is able to "temper" the saltiness, such as a salad.
You can certainly add duck confit to a risotto, where the blandness of the rice will also temper the saltiness of the confit (a low-salt stock would be advisable for the risotto).
Beyond the saltiness, though, a confit tends to have a delicate flavor, so avoid burying it in strong dishes that will overwhelm the taste of the meat.
