I know a whlie back we talked about the salt content in seawater. Well, I was thumbing through my CRC Handbook just now, and I found a table that you might find interesting for its information on salt content.

I'm not going to quote it, but here's the source:
CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 86th edition
14-16 "Composition of Seawater and Ionic Strength at Various Salinities (Ref. 2)

It lists the composition at various salinities (S), but I'll only list S = 30 since it's on the low end. The values are listed as grams per kilogram of seawater.
