There’s billions of life forms on there. Say a shrimp dies and isn’t eaten up or anything by scavengers, could it pickle over time? The way we pickle meats in a salt brine? The ocean is a salt brine in itself.

    2% salt brines are standard, I presume lower percentage work.

    And the saltiest bodies of water (by memory) are like 0.4%?

    I know its a big difference but I really thought the right animal, if left alone could get there. But I guess I didnt think of what the minimum percentage is needed for
