Element	Recommended result	Result	Difference
Salinity Salinity	33 - 38 ppt	35 ppt	- 0.5 ppt
Recommended result: 35.5 ppt Result: 35 ppt Salinity Salinity is one of the most important parameters. Avoid sudden salinity changes as they're harmful to the aquatic life. Make sure, that you use freshly calibrated refractometer dedicated for seawater (not for the food industry!). Keep in mind, that the higher salinity is, the higher are the levels of micro & macro elements in the water. When salinity drops, all levels of the water elements will drop too.
